Beginning February 1, 2020, we will be piloting a start to finish award management approach on our campus that will bring the Setup, Billing, and Post award tasks together under one group. This pilot will be limited to portion of our population and will include only a few specific school/department partners, with the goal of evaluating and planning for a full implementation.
Over the pilot period, The Office of Grants and Contracts will establish new procedures to assist with seamless transitions for the life of the award, create and distribute reports containing full award financial information rather than project chart field based, conduct closeout meetings as we approach the completion of one budget year while also setting up the next budget year, create a timeline checklist that prioritizes what steps need to be taken each month during a budget cycle to monitor the full award.
Pilot period completion expected for 1/30/2021.
