Re: Lead Time for Your OSP? Vincelli, Diana 22 Sep 2005 13:43 EST
Hi Susan, Yes, Our Grants Accounting Manager reviews/approves each budget and it is then signed off by the Asst VP/Controller. They don't take 5 days tho- I always get the budget back in a day or 2 at the most. I often ask PIs to give me the budget first so I can review it and then send it for approvals. Overall we try for 5 working days lead time, and warn people of especially busy times that we'd like an extra day or two. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...

Our VP of Finance feels that the accounting dept needs to review every proposal budget before it goes out. They want 5 business days! Of course our office needs time to review and prepare the submission package - the 5 days in accounting is killing us! It is like pulling teeth to get faculty to give us the proposal and budget in time for us to review, make changes and suggestion s, and send to accounting. Does anyone else have to get proposal budgets approved by fiscal services? "If we knew what it was we were doing, It would not be research would it?" Albert Einstein Susan W.

We ask for 5 business days to allow for the proposal load, corrections, major problems, etc. We also want the final draft, not rough drafts unless we had arranged to help review and edit those ahead of time. What does your OSP do? Thanks, Andrew ======================================== Andrew M. Parkerson-Gray, CRA Senior Pre-Award Administrator UAF Office of Sponsored Programs 909 N.
