Award Management


Completing a project and providing accurate financial information to project sponsors are only two of several responsibilities UACES has as the steward of sponsored funding. Federal, state, and local laws, as well as institutional policies and procedures, must be followed and documented throughout a project’s life span.   

Invoicing, Monitoring, and Financial Reporting

As steward of sponsored funds, Office of Sponsored Programs ensures expenses are eligible for reimbursement and invoiced and received in a timely manner; the project remains on schedule and the sponsor receives timely progress reports; and financial reporting is accurate and in compliance with laws or guidance received from the project sponsor. These documents offer an overview of the reimbursement and reporting process as well as sample forms.
