As a Research Administrator, you play a vital role in Employee Compensation Compliance (ECC) at UChicago by supporting faculty throughout the certification process. By reviewing project statements and ensuring that salary charges align with documented effort, you help promote compliance with federal requirements. Your guidance strengthens research integrity, reduces audit risk, and supports the responsible use of sponsor funds.
