Award Set-up

Proposals and negotiated agreements or contracts awarded with sponsored funds are established as funds in PeopleSoft Finance. First established by Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP), then routed to GMO for review/ approval prior to full activation in PeopleSoft. When your Fund is created you will receive an email with the Chartfield number and various instructions and forms needed to charge expenses to your grant.

If desired, OSP and the Grants Management Office will also set up a meeting with you and any other members of your research team to go over the instructions and forms provided in the email and to answer any questions you may have about charging expenses to your award. We strongly suggest you take advantage of this opportunity so that you can avoid common pitfalls and delays in processing grant expenditures.
