About this opportunity
The University of North Carolina is requesting proposals for sponsored research finance operations assessment, remediation, and transformation consulting services under RFP 59-P2413, with proposals due October 5, 2026.
The engagement addresses critical deficiencies in sponsored research finance operations. The scope encompasses rebuilding and stabilizing operations and restoring internal controls; identifying, quantifying, and supporting recovery of unbilled and uncollected sponsored revenue; reducing aged, unreconciled balances; bringing operations into compliance with State of North Carolina requirements, Governing Board policy, Uniform Guidance, and applicable audit findings; protecting the University's delegated authority to manage federal and state awards; and establishing sustainable processes, documented procedures, and trained internal staff capable of independently operating and maintaining the function. Deliverables include a validated, evidence-based assessment of current operations and a prioritized, sequenced roadmap of corrective and transformational actions.
The solicitation anticipates a phased engagement combining assessment, remediation, and transformation services. Proposers should demonstrate expertise in sponsored research accounting, federal compliance frameworks, internal control remediation, and organizational change management.
