Welcome to the Grants and Contracts Department. This area has been set up to familiarize you with the Grants Office personnel, assignments, and reporting requirements within the Finance & Administrative Services area. Also included are guidelines and information that will help you in working with your grant or contract as it relates to the Grants Office financial reporting functions.
Overview
The grants account personnel are available to advise you and help carry out your account transactions. If we cannot assist you from within our office, we will try to direct you to the office that can. We want to make the financial responsibilities of your grant as easy as possible for you, while guaranteeing adherence to reporting requirements.
