Project Director's Responsibility

Project Directors have primary responsibility for the management of all expenditures under their sponsored projects. However, the department, research unit and school or college also share in that responsibility. Departments/units will be required to replace any funds that are found to have been spent in a manner inconsistent with University policies and/or sponsor restrictions. Project Directors and other authorized signers will be required in the near future to certify on purchase requisitions and other forms that the expenditures are consistent with such University/sponsor policies and procedures.

Federal Demonstration Partnership Special Provisions. Project Directors of FDP eligible projects are urged to consult with the appropriate DRDA Project Representative should they have any questions on matters related to prior approval requirements, pre-award costs, no cost time extensions, unobligated fund balances, space alterations and renovations, cost allocations, and noncompeting renewals.
