Close Outs
OSP uses a Close Out (CO) internally to track that the closeout of a sponsored program occurs in accordance with federal regulations, specific sponsor policies and the terms of the award within the timeframe required by the sponsor.
To create a Close Out, follow the directions to Create an Admin Action, and then convert the AA to a CO. This action is usually the child of an Application.
When you create a CO, you must specify the type by selecting a checkbox under Close Out Action.
