Managing Your Award

Please inform Jill Meredith upon notification of your grant award. SHP R&I will work with you to confirm/update your budget and have the award processed by OSP. OSP will send the finalized award to Grants & Contracts Accounting to have an account created. SHP R&I will distribute the account number to the PI and others as needed, add any applicable effort, and initiate any funded subawards.

SHP R&I post-award administrators will monitor your account to ensure expenditures are accurate and spending is on track as budgeted.
