Award Management

Once a proposal has been funded and an official notification of the award (e.g., Notice of Grant Award, letter of award, fully executed contract) has been received from the sponsor, ORPA will issue a Financial Activity Object (FAO) for the project.


When the FAO is issued, ORPA will then produce the internal Notice of Award (NOA), which will indicate the University FAO for the budget period, the F&A (indirect) cost rate, report due dates, outgoing years’ committed support, and indicate any unusual requirements for the award. The Notice of Award, along with a copy of the sponsor’s award notice or executed contract, is sent to the Principal Investigator, the Department Administrator and ORACS.
