Resources
Post-Award Process
The Research and Development Post-Award Office is responsible for helping principal investigators and research personnel with the efficient and effective fiscal management of external grants and contracts once awarded.
Tasks performed by the R&D Post-Award Offices:
- Interim funding and account setup
- Hiring of research personnel including staff, GARs, and student workers
- PI grant research effort
- Payroll actions for research personnel
- GAR tuition payments
- Research travel
- Research stipend payments
- Independent contractor payments
- Supply and equipment orders
- Expenditure reports
- Research account reconciliation and monitoring
The R&D Post-Award Office does not provide the above services for internal awards, faculty IDC accounts, or salary saving accounts. Please contact department personnel for balances and processing of expenditures on these accounts.
Funding approval may take several months. Contact TAMU Sponsored Research Services (SRS) for approval status. SRS will negotiate the funding and set up an account for your research.
Your departmental financial staff will help you access funds. Notify Clayton Holle of funding approval or if you would like to meet to discuss your project.
Pro-Active Interim Funding
Easy steps to activate this new service:
1. Forward to Clayton Holle at cholle@tamu.edu your notice of award, with “interim funding set-up request” somewhere in the subject line or text.
2. We will contact you within one business day to discuss your particular needs.
3. For federal/state-funded awards: we will promptly submit required interim funding budget forms to SRS for its approval, and will follow up frequently until SRS interim budget is activated. For private/commercial awards: we will promptly create a CERD interim funding account.
