- SPA Unification with ORSP
UTC’s Sponsored Programs Accounting (SPA) team is joining UTC’s Pre-Award and Award Services teams within the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP). With this strategic unification, for the first time in UTC history the full continuum of research administration support units will be housed together within ORSP. ORSP and SPA have cultivated a close and collaborative working relationship over many years, and this organizational realignment will support UTC in achieving strategic priorities related to research administration.
The SPA team includes Director Virginia Moore, Assistant Director Nikki Ellis, and Accountants Amy Tarpley, Alicia Coller, and Karen Campbell. Our SPA colleagues continue to offer the same services; they just have a new administrative home within ORSP.
The ORSP team – Pre-Award, Award Services, and Sponsored Programs Accounting – is at your service!
