- necessary,
- reasonable,
- allocable to a sponsored award,
- administered consistently across all sponsored awards, and
- allowable per the terms of the Award, sponsor requirements, and applicable UW regulations.
Review GIM 23 – Sponsored Program Costing Policy.
Award Management
Departments and Principal Investigators (PIs) are responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of their UW Awards. PI’s are responsible for the management of their sponsored awards. Awards should be reconciled on a regular basis to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are necessary, reasonable, allocable, allowable, and consistently treated.
Review guidance on award changes such as rebudgeting, extensions (aka no-cost extensions) and early terminations or deobligations.
