The video and presentation resources on this page were developed to assist faculty with the fiduciary responsibilities associated with sponsored research funding. The resources include information on spending, effort reporting, managing the burn rate on awards, and planning for the financial well-being of projects over time. Financial management is a partnership between faculty, department grants managers, the Office of Research and Project Administration (ORPA) and Sponsored Research Accounting (SRA). Watch the recorded presentation to learn about key concepts and resources essential to avoid pitfalls, and strengthen the campus partnerships.
