Congratulations on winning a grant award! The Office of Grants and Sponsored Research (OGSR) and Finance and Business Services (FBS) guide faculty and staff through the external and internal regulations and policies governing grant awards. We have the expertise and resources necessary to help the Principal Investigator (PI) use the award wisely and in compliance with the terms of the proposal, contractual agreements, and all appropriate regulations. Your journey will start with receipt of an award notice from the funder. OGSR will initiate award set-up in Oracle; the process will be completed by staff in Finance and Business Services. Once the award is set up in Oracle, we will schedule an “Award Fundamentals” meeting with you. This meeting will introduce you to the requirements of managing your award, and the resources you can use to assist you, including use of a shadow budget to help you confirm that all expended costs show up in the official Oracle budget.
