Tips for Post Award

Review your award’s terms and conditions. The award notification often has details on what kinds of budget items are not allowable.

Ensure that costs are consistent with the project schedule and are incurred between the start and stop dates of the project. Confirm the availability of project funds as needed, but make sure to avoid overspending, which may cause a deficit and limit further spending.

On a monthly basis, review your sponsored project account summary in case there are ever any errors in your budget, encumbrances, or expenditures.

Verify that Change Requests, corrections, and cost transfers are being made in a timely manner.

Maintain good documentation in case someone needs to revisit the issue at a later date.
