Please see the Vice Provost for Research message: Update on the federal research funding landscape sent to active Principal Investigators (PIs) in SAGE and Workday.
Please note, the University is pausing approval of the following, effective 2/28/2025, for all federal and federal flow-through awards:
-
Advance Spend for new awards, both anticipated and those under review/processing.
-
Mid-project spend ahead of the next year’s funding, using the Advance Spend module or Temporary Internal Extension.
-
End of project spend ahead of formal no-cost extension approval, using a Temporary Internal Extension.
All other Advance Spend, whether using the Advance Spend module, or a Temporary Internal Extension, may continue to be requested but may receive increased scrutiny.
Any requests already received up through 2/27/2025 and with GCA or OSP will be processed.
If you already have Advance Spend or a Temporary Internal Extension processed on a federal or federal flow-through award, you are asked to minimize advance spending, with a reminder that unrecoverable costs are borne by the PI/department.
Thank you,
The Office of Sponsored Programs & Grant and Contract Accounting
