Post Award Documents

Award Notice, Award Modifications,  and Pre-Award Transmittal Sheet

The award notice comes from the granting agency and contains the terms and conditions of the award. The Pre-Award office approves the award record in Era-Click. Once the record is approved, an email notification (which summarizes the award) is set to the department and the contracts and grants accounting office. If an award is modified (e.g. period of performance or additional funding), the Pre-Award office generates another email notification to include the modification.

Notice of Index or Indices

The contract and grants accounting office will send an email to the department notifying them that an index has been created in Banner. This will be the index used to expense items to the grant via P-Card, requisitions, payroll, Chrome River, journal vouchers and purchase orders. Until an index is set up, you cannot expense items to the grant, unless pre-approved by the sponsor or indicated in the terms and conditions of your award. You will also receive the Signature Authorization Form with the Index notice. Contract and Grant Accounting is replacing the Signature Authorization Form to an electronic process utilizing Click. Click will now provide a location to add the over expenditure index that will delegate signature authority by reading and agreeing to the attestation statement. Once agreeing to the attestation agreement, you will have the opportunity to add the expenditure index.
