Official Notification of Award

Faculty receiving notice of a grant award must notify SR, which administers all grant budgets, assists with preparation of required reports and final close-out activities, and implements approved changes in budgets, project period, etc. Some agencies notify the faculty member directly, while others send notification to the Office of the President or the Provost; therefore, it is critical that faculty take the initiative to contact SR when an award is made. No grant budget can be set up until that is done. Also, the PI should contact SR upon receiving notice that their grant proposal has been or has not been awarded funding (funding agencies do not contact SR directly with this information).
