We require the dean's approval on all expenditures over $1,000.
However, we have started discussions on increasing that amount, but with
the local bureaucracy, this might take years to actually come to
fruition.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Post-Award Expenditure Approval

 All grant expenditures at our organization require the approval
of a PI or designated signatory and then a Post-Award Grant Specialist
(who verifies that the cost is allowable and fits within the budget). We
are considering restructuring the process to include the approval of the
Dean's office.
 I'd appreciate hearing about the approval process at any other
college or university.

Thank you for your help,
