Part III: Awards

NEW/RENEWAL AWARDS
Setting Up the Award - Award or declination notification is normally sent to the Office of Research (OR). If, however, the notice is sent directly to the Principal Investigator, the PI should notify the Office of Research. OR will then review the award documents, negotiate any terms of the award which cause concern, get appropriate signatures, if needed, to formally accept the award, and coordinate with Research and Sponsored Programs Accounting to set up the grant account. Sponsor requirements vary greatly and must be followed to accept the award and establish the Notre Dame account for depositing and disbursing the funds.

Pre-Award Costs - If the PI has expended funds prior to the start date of the award under the pre award costs provisions, those expenditures must be transferred to the new award. (See the University policy and guidelines, "Pre-Award Costs ".) Contact the appropriate Accountant in Research and Sponsored Programs Accounting to transfer the expenses.
