Grants and Contracts Coordinator

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job description and extract content. First, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Background Check: Criminal and Education Verification" maybe? That's part of requirements? Might be considered metadata; but we can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph for things like location, work type, schedule, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's identify sections: - About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing the role. The description starts: "This is an exciting opportunity to join the Brown University School of Engineering’s Research Administration team. Located in Providence, RI, the School’s Research Administration staff of six employees support the application for and oversite of faculty research activities in a dynamic and growing world class research organization". That's about the role/team. - Responsibilities: list of duties: "Grants and Financial Coordinator: The Grants and Financial Coordinator provides administrative pre/post award and financial support services to the Manager, Research Administration, Executive Dean, Finance and Operations, Dean, Graduate Students, Postdocs, Research Track Faculty, and Tenure Track Faculty who are Principal Investigators (PIs).

We have specific benefits listed: flexible work/life balance, summer hours, winter break, comprehensive Benefits package including time off and annual paid holidays. Benefit offerings include health, dental, vision, tuition assistance, retirement, wellness, employee discounts, and more. We can include Benefits section with bullet list. - Pay: Not mentioned.

This includes schedule info: Full time, Scheduled Weekly Hours: 37.5. Also work location Hybrid. We could put Schedule section with those details. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." But schedule is substantive. We can include Schedule

with paragraph: Full-time, 37.5 hours per week, hybrid work location. We also have location: Providence, RI. Could be included in About the role or separate? Might be part of About the role. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Already we have job title in description but not as heading. We need to remove duplicated lines, boilerplate like EEO statement, etc. Also remove "Submission Guidelines:" etc. Also remove "Still Have Questions?" etc. Also remove "Brown is an E-Verify Employer." Also remove EEO statement. We need to keep substantive info: location, hybrid, full time, hours, benefits, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, etc. Now produce HTML fragment:

Schedule

Full‑time position with a scheduled weekly workload of 37.5 hours. Work location is hybrid (based in Providence, RI).

We should ensure no boilerplate like "Recruiting Start Date: 2026-09-16" etc. We omitted that. Also omitted "Job Posting Title", "Department", "Grade", etc. Those are minor metadata; we could fold into a short paragraph if desired, but we already have location and schedule. Could include a short paragraph for metadata like "Position: Grants and Contracts Coordinator, School of Engineering, Grade 8, Regular Employee, Full‑time." But instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. We could add a short paragraph after About the role maybe. However we already have location in About the role. Could add a short paragraph for other metadata like "Position: Grants and Contracts Coordinator, School of Engineering, Grade 8, Regular Employee, Full‑time." But we already have schedule section covering full-time. Might be redundant. Safer to drop minor metadata like Job Posting Title, Department, Grade, Worker Type, etc. Already we have schedule and location. So fine. Check that we didn't repeat job title as heading: we didn't. Check that we didn't include Pay or Schedule unless actual content: we have Schedule with actual content (full-time, 37.5 hours, hybrid). Good. Check that we didn't include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Check that we didn't include boilerplate: we removed EEO, E-Verify, submission guidelines, still have questions, etc. Check that we preserved all substantive info: responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits, schedule, location, about role. Did we miss anything like "Handles confidential information" included. Yes. Check that we didn't miss "Effectively communicates award and financial policies to students, faculty, and staff." included. Check that we didn't miss "Uses Workday Financials..." included. Check that we didn't miss "monitors School related finances, reconciles accounts..." included. Check that we didn't miss "Coordinates submission of new and continuing grant proposals." included. Check that we didn't miss "Assists in preparation and review of assigned grant proposals..." included. Check that we didn't miss "Provides administrative pre/post award and financial support services..." included.
