We don’t have a written policy that I’m aware of, but as practice, our Sponsored Programs Accounting office requires justification from the PI for large expenditures toward the end of the project and, in some
cases, sponsor approval. That can be done via e-mail, but we then have documentation on file covering the university.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Grant Spenddown Policy
Good morning,
Does anyone have an internal policy on the spending down of unobligated funds on a sponsored project in the last few months that you would be willing to share with me? I am specifically looking for language that discourages the practice
of the PI/PD spending down unobligated funds in the last few months of the project period just because funds are available unless of course it is allowed by the sponsor.
Thank you in advance.
Best,
Tim
