Project Administration
Restricted Funds - Guiding Principles
All sponsored projects are considered to be restricted funds. Thus, all charges to Research Foundation sponsored projects must be:
- reasonable, allowable, and allocable to the project
- in accordance with program plans and objectives
- clearly required for the project
- consistent with the budget established for the project (in total, by category, or by line item, depending on sponsor requirements)
- incurred within the project time period
- in accordance with sponsor regulations, university policy, and Research Foundation procedures for implementing those regulations and policies
Any deviations from the above require justification and/or additional sponsor approval. Sponsored program officers can provide information and advice on what may or may not be charged to a sponsored project and they can assist in seeking required approvals.
