We had an instance with this particular sponsor (National Geographic) a
couple of years ago in which the PI submitted a proposal through our
Sponsored Programs office but the check was cut directly to the individual.
Word of caution:  this caused somewhat of a dilemma since the PI included
institutionally supported cost share in the proposal, yet the institution
had no means of controlling or monitoring the funds received.

Ideally, the check should have been signed over to the University.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Direct Awards to Researchers

I am interested in learning if, or how, your institution handles awards
that are made directly to a researcher, e.g. National Geographic, etc.
Have you been successful in getting any such sponsor to reissue the
award to your institution?  Thanks in advance for your help.
