When a grant or contract proposal has been approved for funding by the agency, OU will receive an official award notification or a fully executed contract.

If the award notification is received by the Principal Investigator (PI), please inform GCSR as soon as possible. Please note: it is important to forward the entire award notification package to GCSR including any payments received, acceptance letters to be returned to the agency, etc. These items will be processed by GCSR.

Upon receipt of the award letter, GCSR will request a fund number from the Accounting Office. It takes 3 to 5 working days for Accounting to process the request and assign a fund number. GCSR will send the PI and department/school Budget Manager an e-mail providing the fund number, a copy of the award notification, and a summary of any special terms and conditions. A signature card will be sent separately through campus mail. Please feel free to contact GCSR with any questions regarding your new award.
