Once the University receives a sponsored award, our Post Award Support team provides ongoing assistance to ensure compliance with institutional, sponsor, and federal regulations. We conduct monthly financial reviews, generate detailed financial reports, and manage necessary adjustments, corrections, or transfers related to sponsored awards. Our team maintains regular communication with principal investigators and departmental staff, offering guidance and answering questions to support accurate financial planning and effective project management throughout the award lifecycle.
