Projects

Projects are separate groups to track specific expenses within an award. Projects are linked to the Award; they are numbered sequentially by iO and share the same demographic information as the Award. The establishment of projects may be required by the terms and conditions of a specific award.

Examples include but are not limited to:

  • Participant support costs on an NSF award.
  • Awards for research experiences for undergraduates.
  • Different F&A rates for expenses within an award.
  • Cost sharing requirements.

A request from the PI or Department Administrator is not needed if a project is required by the award.

A request for a project from the PI or Departmental Administrator is needed if equipment fabrication is involved, if the PI wishes to track costs by a Co-PI, or for other internal budgeting and tracking purposes.
