Research Grant Administration: Post-award Resources for Faculty: Research fund management

Overview - Research Fund Management

Research Fund Management is a critical part of a Researcher's duties. As funding agencies require additional reporting on the use of the grant, an extra layer of scrutiny over the funds is put in place by the University over charges against research funds in order to ensure that this money is being spent 100% in line with the terms of the funding. As such the University requires that Researchers prepare, submit, and approve source documents for all transactions. Providing that extra layer of scrutiny, Institutional Approvers are additionally tasked with reviewing all charges against the fund to verify that they are in line with the scope of the project. Researchers are also required to provide a final review of the fund to ensure that all expenses have been charged correctly before fund closure (all expenses claimed and in the right category).
