Post-Award
Communication is the key to successful award management. Once an award has been accepted, the first step for a PI and administrator is to read the award document (preferably together)—the terms and conditions are a guide in managing the funds and it is important from the outset to have a clear understanding of the sponsor requirements. Discuss a general plan for spending the money. Accounts then need to be set up, subrecipient and consulting agreements may need to be prepared, and spending plans put in place. Check the progress of the project with the PI regularly to be sure nothing falls between the cracks. Check on the status of subrecipient spending regularly. The following resources are available to assist you, and do not hesitate to ask questions along the way.
