         The Post-Award Process

Congratulations! Your proposal has been awarded and will soon be entered into UWO's accounting system, WISDM.

Once a proposal has been reviewed and recommended for funding, the sponsor's program official will often notify the Principal Investigator (PI) directly. Such preliminary or informal advice may precede official notification by as much as several months. Because scientific or program approval does not always guarantee funding, no work may be initiated or costs incurred until the sponsor's official written notification is received and accepted by the University.

The acceptance of an award, once official notification has been received, represents a formal obligation by the University; therefore the PI, Office of Sponsored Programs, and the Risk Manager must review the provisions of each offer before acceptance. The PI should ascertain that the scope of work and budget are consistent with his or her proposal and review the schedule for reporting progress or other deliverables.

Award documents that require a signature for acceptance are to be signed by an authorized University official. This is Tom Sonnleitner, Vice-Chancellor for Administrative Services. The PI may not make commitments on behalf of the University.

The processes that follow formal acceptance of an award are covered in detail in the pages you can access through the links on this page.
