Contract & Grant Accounting

The Office for Contract & Grant Accounting ensures good stewardship of sponsored funds and provides support to faculty and staff on post-award financial administration for externally sponsored projects.

  • Award set-up in the University accounting system
  • Invoicing
  • Revenue collection, receivable, and management
  • Sponsored financial reporting
