Navigating the policies and procedures of sponsored project research can be difficult. Let us help you! Read on to learn more about how the INSTAAR finance team can help.

Financial management

  • Financial spreadsheets: Post Award Specialists prepare financial spreadsheets to show the balance remaining on your speedtype(s).
  • Expense allowability: Is an expense allowable, allocable, reasonable, and consistent? If you are unsure, reach out to your finance contact prior to purchasing to make sure the expense can be charged to the grant. See also, determining allowable costs.
  • Prior approvals: Throughout the course of the project a PI may need to make changes to the project period, budget, scope, or key personnel. We can coordinate with the 欧美口爆视频 Office of Contracts and Grants (OCG) to obtain prior approval from the sponsor for these changes.
  • Cost transfers: Did you have an expense that ended up on the wrong speedtype? We can create a journal entry to correct the error.
  • Forms: Your local beauracracy's favorite. We can help you fill out these forms and more.
    • Standing Purchase Order (SPO) Markup: to modify subaward funding
