Georgia assists the Office of the Dean with the management of ENCS funding programs, and with the review of external research grant applications and research contracts during the Faculty approval process. Internal research grants programs administered by the Faculty include CARA Funds, Start-Up Funds, and the Graduate Student Support Program.

Along with these responsibilities, Georgia manages and provides information regarding the appointment and payment of research personnel, postdoctoral fellows and students.

She provides financial information and guidelines to faculty members regarding research grants/contracts once they have been awarded. Furthermore, Georgia supplies Faculty members with information regarding funding programs, reviews research applications and contracts for Faculty approval prior to submission to the Office of Research, and works closely with the Research Facilitator regarding external grant applications. Georgia also advises faculty and staff on matters related to financial, research and postdoctoral fellow policies. She disseminates information and manages ENCS research funding and scholarship programs, provides research funding reports and appointments to ENCS departments for internal management and for external surveys, and suggests faculty members regarding research expertise.
