Library Business Services (LBS) provides administrative support and oversight for grants awarded to UC Berkeley Library Principal Investigators (PIs). The mission of the LBS staff is to facilitate the administrative side of grant funding, so that PIs can focus on the research itself with assurance that the bureaucratic side is well managed.
LBS advises PIs on funding agency requirements, interprets agency and UC policies, and offers general grant management guidelines. We act as a liaison to granting agencies, the Sponsored Projects Office, and Contracts and Grants Accounting and provide assistance to meet agency reporting requirements. Budget projections and expenditure reports are prepared on a regular basis.
