Sashin Harilall

Sashin Harilall is the Research Grants Manager at AHRI. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce from the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban, South Africa, and an Honours degree in Business Management from the University of South Africa and has spent the past decade working in a non-profit organisational environment. He is responsible for managing a team of grants officers that are involved in pre-award management, grants and contracts, post-award grants management and research support. This entails assisting investigators with compiling and submitting grant proposals and business registrations, drafting agreements, financial management, reporting, publication/open access support and ensuring both donor and institutional regulations are met.

Harilall is passionate about research administration, and his goal is to make a positive impact by lessening the encumbering red tape usually associated with grants administration – giving PI’s and their teams more time to focus on their scientific goals.
