Office of Sponsored Programs - 400.05 - Establishment of Project IDs for Sponsored Projects

Title

Office of Sponsored Programs - 400.05 - Establishment of Project IDs for Sponsored Projects

Purpose

This operating standard establishes the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) as the designated division responsible for accepting, administrating, negotiating, and managing sponsored awards on behalf of the University.

Policy Statement

The determination of how a Project ID is established is dependent on the award notification, applicable University policies, sponsor policies, and guidelines in 2 CFR §200.

Following receipt and acceptance of an awarded grant or cooperative agreement, OSP will create an individual Project ID for the award, and any necessary additional Project IDs, in the University's financial system, ConnectCarolina.

The department is notified electronically when the fund authority has been prepared by OSP, thereby indicating the Project ID has been activated.

Assignment of a Project ID number may be delayed if the following conditions exist:

  • Agreement requires negotiation
  • Award Documentation not submitted to OSP
  • Unapproved Project Financial Guarantee for establishing Pre-Award spending on a project that is expected to be funded
  • Regulatory compliance information has not been completed:
    • Conflicts of Interest
    • Institutional Review Board (IRB) Approvals
    • Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) Approvals
  • The amount awarded is significantly less than the amount proposed, and a revised budget is required
  • The amount awarded is significantly higher than the amount proposed, and a supplemental IPF is required for the difference
  • Prior Approval actions have not been completed
