Grants Program Manager
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Keep substantive info: description of university, mission, etc. That could be "About the role" maybe? Actually "About the role" heading could contain the introductory paragraph about Notre Dame being a vibrant mission-driven community. Then responsibilities: list of duties. Then qualifications: required qualifications. Then maybe "Preferred Qualifications" could be part of Qualifications or separate? Could be under Qualifications as sublist? But we only have set headings; we can put both required and preferred under Qualifications. Skills maybe separate? But we can combine. Pay: we have compensation range $70,000–$100,000, commensurate with experience. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". That's okay because we have actual range. So we can include Pay section with that range. Benefits: not specified; we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. There's no explicit benefits listed, so omit Benefits. Schedule: not specified; omit Schedule. Skills: we could include skills from qualifications? But we already have Qualifications; maybe we can put Skills separate if there is explicit skill list. The posting mentions strong organizational, time management, communication skills, ability to work independently, etc. Those could go under Skills. However we must not duplicate content. We could put skills under Skills heading, and qualifications under Qualifications heading (education, experience). Let's decide.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include:
- Intro about Notre Dame mission-driven community.
- Job description: three new positions, Grants Program Managers, supporting faculty, etc.
- Responsibilities list (bulleted).
- Ability to work independently, collaborate, etc.
- Notre Dame Research coaching culture.
- Welcoming applicants at varying stages.
- Titles and levels determined based on education, experience, demonstrated expertise.
- Qualifications: Bachelor's degree required, 3+ years professional work experience, ability to interpret/apply federal and non-federal regulations, strong analytical skills, excellent written/verbal communication, proficiency in research administration systems, strong organizational/time/project management skills, ability to perform under pressure, ability to provide mentorship to junior colleagues (senior-level).
- Preferred Qualifications: 3+ experience in higher education grants management, strong knowledge of eRA systems, sponsor systems, compliance, regulatory requirements; CRA credential; experience mentoring/training junior staff; graduate-level coursework in financial accounting or related areas.
- Additional Information: cover letter and resume, applications due Oct 3, 2026. Compensation Range: $70,000–$100,000, commensurate with experience. Work Environment: position may be based on Notre Dame’s campus in South Bend, Indiana, or may be structured as a remote role, depending on needs of the candidate.
- EEO etc to remove.
We must not include application instructions? The rule says remove application instructions. "To be considered for this role, please include a cover letter and resume. Applications due by October 3, 2026." That's application instruction? It's a deadline and required documents. Might be considered application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop that line. However we need to preserve substantive information; the deadline is substantive? It's part of application process. The rule says remove application instructions. Likely we should drop the cover letter/resume and due date. But we might keep compensation range and work environment as they are not instructions. The deadline is definitely an instruction. So we drop that.
Also remove "Additional Information" heading? We'll not use that heading; we will incorporate compensation and work environment under Pay and maybe Schedule? Work environment could be under Schedule? Not exactly. Could be under "About the role" or maybe a separate section like "Work Location" but not in allowed headings. Since we only allowed headings list, we could put work environment under "About the role" or maybe under "Schedule"? Not appropriate. Better to include under "About the role" as part of description.
Thus sections:
- About the role: includes intro about Notre Dame mission-driven community, plus description of the team, three positions, etc. Also maybe work environment.
- Responsibilities: bullet list of duties.
- Qualifications: required qualifications bullet list.
- Skills: maybe list of skills like strong organizational, time management, communication, ability to work independently, collaborate, etc. But some of those already in qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could put skills separate but ensure not duplicate. Could combine qualifications and skills into one section? But we need to use headings only when real specific content. We could have Qualifications covering education, experience, certifications, etc. Skills covering abilities like analytical, communication, organizational, etc. That seems okay.
- Pay: compensation range.
We must not include Benefits or Schedule.
Now craft HTML.
We need for each section heading.
Inside sections, use
for prose,
- for lists.
Let's draft.

GPMs play a key role throughout the research lifecycle, supporting program activities by:
But wait, that list is responsibilities; we should move that to Responsibilities section. So About the role should not include the list. Instead we can have a brief description of the role without the list. Thus About the role: intro about Notre Dame, description of the team, three positions, etc. Then Responsibilities: bullet list. Let's extract responsibilities from text: - Monitoring and maintaining award funds and accounts. - Providing budgeting, forecasting, and financial oversight services. - Reviewing expenditures for allowability, allocability, and reasonableness. - Communicating grant terms and conditions to project teams with a focus on compliance. - Navigating multiple research administration systems and providing guidance to faculty and staff. - Anticipating and proactively addressing the needs of researchers. - Delivering excellent customer service and confidently managing high-stakes conversations around policy, compliance, and regulations. - The ability to work independently with minimal oversight, while also collaborating as part of a wider team, is essential to success. - GPMs are expected to bring strong organizational, time management, and communication skills to balance competing priorities and deadlines with efficiency and professionalism. - Notre Dame Research fully embraces the University’s coaching culture, fostering regular, open, two-way feedback and development conversations between employees and supervisors. - We welcome applicants at varying stages of their careers, from early-career professionals to experienced research administrators. - Titles and levels will be determined based on education, experience, and demonstrated expertise. Some of those are more like qualifications or expectations. But we can keep them in responsibilities as they describe role expectations. However some like "welcoming applicants" is not a duty. Might be better to keep responsibilities as the list of duties (first 7 items). The rest could go under Qualifications/Skills/About. But to preserve all substantive information, we need to include them somewhere. Let's allocate: - Responsibilities: the core duties (monitoring award funds, budgeting, reviewing expenditures, communicating terms, navigating systems, anticipating needs, delivering customer service, managing high-stakes conversations). - Skills: ability to work independently/collaborate, strong organizational/time management/communication skills, ability to balance priorities, coaching culture feedback, welcoming applicants at varying stages, titles determined based on education/experience. - Qualifications: Bachelor's degree required, 3+ years professional work experience, ability to interpret/apply federal and non-federal regulations, strong analytical skills, excellent written/verbal communication, proficiency in research administration systems, strong organizational/time/project management skills, ability to perform under pressure, ability to provide mentorship to junior colleagues (senior-level). - Preferred Qualifications: 3+ experience in higher education grants management, strong knowledge of eRA systems, sponsor systems, compliance, regulatory requirements; CRA credential; experience mentoring/training junior staff; graduate-level coursework in financial accounting or related areas. - Pay: Compensation Range: $70,000–$100,000, commensurate with experience. - About the role: intro about Notre Dame mission-driven community, description of growing team, three positions, thoughtful problem solver, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not. Now ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" inside Pay heading? It's okay because we have actual range; the phrase is part of the sentence but not filler. It's acceptable. Now produce HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's craft.About the role
