Administrative Procedures

Project Management

Project management involves maintaining accountability for post-award transactions, as well as assuring compliance with applicable sponsor rules, regulations and/or terms and conditions of the award. Sponsored project accounts are set up in accordance with the budget approved by the sponsor. The statement of work must be carried out in accordance with the approved proposal. Varying degrees of flexibility are provided by the sponsors with regard to budget revisions, allowable expenditures, and changes in the statement of work. In some instances, prior approval by the sponsor is required.

SP and Controller's office will meet with PI quarterly to help PI understand compliance with sponsor requirements.  SP and the Controller's office are responsible for overseeing sponsored project activities and for providing guidance and assistance to the PI and departmental administrators in fulfilling their responsibilities to the sponsor.
