Department Grant and Contract Award Management

The Principal Investigator (PI) is responsible for monitoring the budget to ensure that proper documentation procedures are followed and that only authorized expenditures are charged to a sponsored project. Upon receipt of a notice of an award from the Office of Grants and Contracts, it is the PI’s responsibility to work with their department administrator to manage funds responsibly.
