Research Administration

Research administrators in Contracts and Grants have specific department(s) for which they are responsible. Most of the post-award financial management issues for which departments are responsible thus have a single point of contact which maximizes the effectiveness and efficiency of the post award function.

Accounts Receivable

The accounts receivable and billing team processes all deposits and maintains check logs. This team performs all manual adjustments to the accounts receivable subledger.

Accounting

The accounting team manages all aspects of the letter of credits systems including draw down, reporting, and related reconciliations. This team is also responsible for managing the University’s subcontracts which includes the establishment of encumbrances, processing related payments and monitoring A-133 compliance.

Special Projects

This unit is responsible for responding to the data requests that result from audit requests from federal, state and private sponsors of the university. They also perform other special projects as assigned.
