Once the project is terminated by the sponsor or the grant or contract end date expires, the Controller’s Office receives a monthly report from Research Accounting. The Controller’s Office notifies the appropriate financial administrator for closeout or extension and provides an Account Closeout/Extension (ACE) form for completion. Once the financial administrator returns the ACE form to the Controller’s Office, the Controller’s Office notifies OSP of the expiration. OSP updates the SIMS database. The PI and department must retain the project records for the period of time designated in the agreement.
College or unit research administrators assist investigators in this process.
