Award Set Up
- Set up the award in the university’s financial system to allow for PI spending.
Award Maintenance
- Provide general award maintenance activities for research awards, including the processing of award modifications (e.g. budget revisions, no-cost extensions, etc.), payroll kick-outs, Bear Quest approvals, Tuition Stipend Authorization (TSA) updates, etc.
Invoicing and Financial Reporting
- Prepare and submit invoices and financial reports to sponsors.
Cash Management
