The Office of Research (O/R) requires the submission
of certain documents to its office before an award can be assigned a project
number and activated by Research/Cost Accounting (R/CA). Once a project
number is assigned, expenses can be charged to that project in accordance
with the sponsor’s guidelines and allowable costs. The attached checklist
indicates what is needed for various types of new and continuing awards.
Please refer to it and make sure you have all of the required items before
sending the paperwork to O/R. Complete documentation will reduce the time
it takes for departments to receive a project number. If the notice of grant
award is sent to O/R by the sponsor, it will be sent to the department administrator
as quickly as possible. When all paperwork for an activation is received
and O/R completes its final review, the file will be released to R/CA for
activation.
