What do I do if I receive a Notice of Award?
Both Principal Investigators (PIs) / Campus individuals as well as the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) receive Notices of Awards (NoAs) from sponsors. Some notices are only sent to the PI.
When a PI or campus individual receives a notification of an award, whether or not OSP is included, the PI/campus individual should follow these steps to create an Award Setup Request or Award Modification Request as soon as possible. This will ensure that a complete Award Setup Request or Modification Request gets to the appropriate OSP reviewer quickly. We recommend paying attention to sponsor emails to help identify an NoA quickly.
How do I know if I should create an Award Setup Request or a Modification Request?
When sponsors send an award notification only to OSP or when OSP retrieves an award from a sponsor system, OSP initiates an Award Setup Request or a Modification Request and will send it to campus for completion.
