Congratulations on Your Award!
If you received notification directly from the sponsor, forward notice to the Post-Award Grants Administrator.
ORP’s Post-Award Section will now assist you with managing your project. Remember that funds are almost always awarded to the SIU Board of Trustees, not to you, and they must be expended according to the approved budget within the approved timeline for the approved scope of work.
Review the Roles and Responsibilities [pdf] to determine your role and ORP’s role in the successful execution of your project. At the time your project account is setup, you will be assigned an accountant. Arrange a meeting to discuss your project.
