General Award Administration Procedures

• Investigator contacts OSR to make arrangements for pre-award spending if needed.
• OSR reviews terms of award, and negotiates with sponsor, if needed.
• When an award is accepted, OSR notifies the PI and sets up the account in the University's financial system.
• Faculty and staff contact OSR about anticipated budget changes or extensions of time.
• Faculty and staff send all correspondence of an administrative nature to OSR for review and endorsement prior to submitting to the external sponsor.
• Faculty and staff discuss any significant project changes with OSR staff (e.g., workscope or extended absence of the PI) and jointly determine appropriate action.
