Post-Award Grants Management Guide
Sponsored agreements are awarded to the University on behalf of the Principal Investigator. Primary responsibility of fiscal oversight and technical completion begins with the Principal Investigator. The Office of University Research Services-Post-Award Grant Financial Management is here to assist you in recording and facilitating all financial matters. Since the University is legally responsible for all sponsored agreements, post-award grant management must follow Towson University's Financial Services policies and procedures. Please refer to the Post-Award website and Handbook
to ensure that proper policies and procedures are followed.
