 In determining award decisions after a proposal has been submitted, some sponsors will communicate directly with the PI, some will do so only with ORSP, and others include both the PI and the ORSP.  Please notify ORSP of any communication from sponsors regarding the result of your proposal.  ORSP will forward any such communication to the PI. 

After an award notification is received, ORSP will accept and negotiate the award. The Controller's Office will set up the award account and be responsible for accounting and financial compliance, and will handle the post-award financial administration of the project.
