Award and Grant Administration

This page contains information related to award acceptance, notification of an award, and other post-award administration topics.

What documentation is required to establish a grant account for my funded project?
Two conditions must be met before a grant account will be established, as follows:

Condition One: Receipt of valid Award Documentation.
Condition Two: Receipt of all Required Documentation.

One item from Column A and all items from Column B are necessary to establish an account:

Column A - Award Documentation		Column B - Required Documentation
1	An Award Letter or Check from Sponsor	1	Original, Fully-Executed Proposal Transmittal Form
2	A Fully-Executed Contract from Sponsor	2	Conflict of Interest Form
3	A Notice of Grant Award from Sponsor	3	Budget
4	A Fully-Executed Subcontract with another university	4	Budget Justification
5	Fully-Signed IPAF for an Advance Account	5	Narrative Proposal
		6	IRB/IACUC Approvals (as required)

SPRS will send a brief Congratulatory Email notice to the project director when an award is received from the sponsoring agency – private, public, corporate or non-profit.
Once the Grant Account Number is assigned, SPRS will send a Notice of Award (NOA) letter to the project director.
- In the case of Foundation awards, SPRS will send a copy of the NOA to University Advancement.
The initial email generally goes out the same day the award letter is received by SPRS. The account number letter could take anywhere from a few days to a few months to go out, depending on what needs to be done before CSU can accept the award (e.g., revised budget, scopes of work, etc.).
