CSNS Peer Review Committee (Proposal for Grants Information)
Access to Faculty Improvement Grant Monies and Reporting Requirements - 19A
Please read over carefully
1. If your award includes travel funds, complete a travel requisition (prior) to the travel and submit an employee expense report (after the travel) to receive payment of those expenses. The Dean's secretary will supply the account number for the travel requisition and expense report when they come over for signature.
2. If the grant includes the purchase of supplies or equipment, the department secretary or lab tech will be given clearance to do purchase orders on the account. On each purchase order, the name of the grant holder/researcher must be on it. (This is because there are several faculty grants on one account). Also note that S&H will be taken out (added on each purchase order or charge of the grant monies).
3. In the case of costs for copies/printing and/or postage - the budgeted amount will be transferred to the department account by the Dean's Secretary. Please check with her when you would be needed these funds.
4. All requests for expenditures on these grants must be processed by the end date on the proposal/contract. Any unexpected portion of the award will revert to the common pool after the date. *You may ask your Dean (e-mail) for an extension of the grant for a specified period of time, if you have not completed the project by the deadline date. The Dean must approve extensions of the 19A faculty grant.
5. When the project for the grant is completed, you must submit a report (in duplicate) of the activity for both the Dean and Vice President. If the work results in a presentation or publication, a copy of the document is to be attached to the report. *In order to apply for future faculty grants - a copy of the report must be included in the proposal.
6. Please contact the Dean or his secretary if you were awarded a stipend or student help money to work out the procedures.
7. It is very important that no faculty grant can overspend the amount given - if they do, the overage will need to come from the department budget.
