    • Assist central finance departments in closing expired accounts and dealing with under- or over-spends.
    • Assist grant holders in project change requests.
    • Maintain records of awards distributed and provide financial reports for grant activity.
    • Prepare and edit documents for internal and external circulation regarding departmental research.
    • Review and regularly update the department's research finance webpages.
    • Support, as required, the promotion and publicity of the department's research to increase engagement and collaboration with industry through events, the web, and other media.
    • Assist the departmental communications manager in promoting and marketing our research activity internally.
