Postaward Support Services

Monitoring Grant Expenditures
All payment requests, purchase requisitions, and purchase order invoices associated with a College of Education sponsored project must be reviewed by one of the Bureau’s sponsored award monitors to ensure funds are spent according to approved budgets and in a timely manner.
Conducting Budget Reviews
Bureau staff assist with reviews and adjustments of project budgets (rebudgets) needed to conduct properly and efficiently the work associated with the project.
Processing No-Cost Extensions
Upon notification from project directors and receipt of agency confirmation, Bureau staff prepare a request for approval under Institutional Prior Approval System to be submitted to the Office of University Research Services and Administration.
Annual Reporting
Bureau staff assist College of Education faculty and research staff with obtaining grant financial information from the Research Financial Services office and with completing required forms. Staff also assist with obtaining University signatures and the internal routing of reports.
Editing
Upon request, experienced Bureau staff are available to provide editing services for proposals, reports to funding agencies, and research manuscripts.

Cost Transfers and Effort Reporting

Principal investigators and award administrators must monitor both cost transfers and personal effort commitments to grants carefully. Cost transfers to a grant must be timely and accompanied by a reason that is specific to the costs of the project. Faculty should ensure they are fulfilling their effort commitments and that their salary reflects the effort they are expending on their project. Dr. Amy Lederberg has provided a proposed method for handling faculty effort that has been endorsed by the Provost and Dean’s Group.
