The Post Award Process

Various individuals/groups need to work together throughout the life of an award to effectively manage sponsored research awards:

• OERA – Post-Award Office
• Principal Investigator
• Departmental Financial Coordinators
• Finance Office
• Office of Sponsored Programs
• Research Accounting

The Post Award Office serves as the liaison between the principal investigator, the Office of Sponsored Programs, and the funding agency for administrative actions, including but not limited to:

• No-cost extensions
• Budget revisions
• Grants transfers
• Changes in key personnel

The Post Award Office also assists in the documenting of proposal cost share and handles close-out of accounts, submission of final financial report, equipment disposition, and invention reports.

More post award information is available on the Office of Sponsored Program’s website at research.psu.edu/osp/post-award.
