We track and report awards, for internal reporting purposes, based on "received date".  In other words the official grant, contract, or other related agreement must be signed, sealed and delivered to our institution before it is reported as an award to our Board of Trustees or included in our annual report.  Not everyone is happy with this method, for the obvious reasons, but it does help us avoid double reporting and making certain that credit is given at least once.

Subject: [RESADM-L] reporting "awards"

Do any of you successfully report "Awards" rather than expenditures?  If so,
how do you do it so that you can make accurate comparisons year to year?
What do you include?  What do you use as cut-off dates?

I would appreciate any and all comments on these and the other many issues
that come up with reporting "awards."

You may answer me offline if you wish.

I'll make a summary of answers for those of you who might want it.

And thank you for your help!
