Post-Award Management

Once a sponsor has decided to provide funding for a proposal, an award is sent to the Post-Award Management team for review. The team also accepts the grant, contract, or cooperative agreement on behalf of the university.

The Post-Award Management Team maintains accounting control over university restricted accounts, including the post-award administration of sponsored activities and monitoring funded accounts. During the award review and acceptance process,  the staff are responsible for:

• Establishing restricted WBS Elements for sponsored project accounts.
• Generating financial reports/invoices for federal, state, and local sponsored activities.
• Entering restricted budgets for restricted WBS Elements and process campus notifications.
• Preparing deposit of funds supporting sponsored activities.
• Processing cash requests to fund letter-of-credit accounts.
• Monitoring account deficit balances and assisting in their resolution.
• Providing information relative to allowable costs according to sponsor guidelines.
• Serving as campus liaison for the Faculty and Staff Effort Certification System, including  monthly training.
• Training campus personnel on grant and contract reporting.
