Our Office of Sponsored Research Administration had two sections--administration and accounting. The administration section handles proposals and signs awards, and registers as the university as a vendor before we send the file to accounting for project and billing setup. We handle it on the administration side because the sponsor often requires registration before an award can be issue. If necessary, we consult with the accounting office and controller's office if we do not have the information we need to register.

Is this the same office that is responsible for the billing?

Our controller's office defers that duty to us.

We have noticed a dramatic increase in on-line/paper vendor registration requests with respect to the issuance of subawards.  I would like to know how other Offices of Sponsored Projects are handling the on line vendor registrations and if this done by the Controller's office or the Office of Sponsored Projects.

Thanks for your assistance,
Franca
