The National Cancer Institute, Grants Administration Branch (GAB), requires administrative support services. The GAB work flow includes the following: All applications for NCI grants and all official NCI funded grant files are maintained in the Records Management Center (RMC). The grant files on hand are not static but continually flow in and out of the RMC during the award process and at various other times when administrative actions are necessary. In addition, terminated research contract file folders in the closeout process from the NCI Research Contract Branch (RCB) are also maintained in the RMC. The awards process consists of a series of activities and actions which GAB staff perform in order to fund approved grant applications. Competing and non-competing applications which have been approved for pay require different types of actions during the application and award process, all of which generate activities in the Awards, Records and Control Team (ARC). The ARC encompasses three main functions: Obligation of Grant Funds, Maintenance and Security of Official Grant Records, and Maintenance of the Internal Grant Control System.
