Award Administration

Award administration begins when the university receives notice of an award, continues through the term of the sponsored project, and culminates in the closeout of the award and submission of final reports to the sponsor.

The principal investigator (PI) has primary responsibility for the financial and technical aspects of a sponsored project in accordance with relevant regulations, sponsor requirements and university policies. Major activities that may occur during award management include:

• expending funds;
• making modifications to the project budget, personnel or timeframe;
• monitoring financial activity;
• issuing project reports; and
• establishing and monitoring subawards.

School-based research administrators, research administration pods and Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) staff are key partners in successful award administration and management.
