Project Administration

Upon receipt of an award or acceptance of an agreement, ORA will establish an account in Peoplesoft.  The account will be set up according to the terms and conditions of the award for budgetary purposes.  The account is established in the PI's name.  ORA - Accounting Services provides post-award fiscal management of the grant in consultation with the PI and according to University, State, Federal and funding agency terms and conditions. They will instruct the PI on the correct procedures for submitting requisitions, ordering supplies, hiring personnel and managing the budget.

The PI has primary responsibility for conducting the research and for assuring that their project costs and financial management of the account is in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated by the granting agency. Fiscal and technical reports are submitted to the sponsor, consistent with terms of the particular agreement.

Any correspondence proposing modification of the terms of an agreement, including changes in the scope of the work, or an increase or decrease in the total estimated cost must be handled via the ORA. Renewals, continuations or extensions involving additional funds must also be reviewed through normal procedures in the same way as new proposals.
