Post Award

As the Primary Investigator/Project Director, you direct your project. The Post-Award Manager of the ORGSP assists you in properly administering the sponsored funds that you receive. This involves aiding you in accepting, using, and accounting for the funds in accordance with the sponsor's specifications. The ORGSP's policies and procedures are in alignment with federal policies set forth by the United States Office of Management & Budget (OMB), particularly 2 CFR 200. At your first meeting following notice of an award, the Post-Award Manager will review with you the terms of your award as well as the policies set forth by the ORGSP. As you make purchases and submit progress reports throughout the life of the project, the Post-Award manager will act as both a consultant and a check to ensure that expenditures conform to your project budget and that those expenditures are properly allocated and recorded. This will ensure a smooth close-out at the end of the project, when the Post-Award Manager submits your final financial report, and you submit your final progress report (if requested), to the sponsor.
