All funding for UC Institute for Research in the Arts activities and projects are reviewed and approved by the Policy Board. The project director is notified of the amount of money by letter, with copies to participating applicants, the department chair and fiscal officer on the campus of the project director. Money must be spent in the fiscal year for which it is granted. This person's name and contact information is to be included in the grant application.
Projects generally require a transfer of the entire sum in coordination with the fiscal officer.
Please allow 6-8 weeks for the transfer process. Once the funds have been transferred, it is the department's responsibility to disperse these funds, adhering to the policies of their home departments and home campuses. Departments will be responsible for all budgeted expenses, including reimbursing participants for approved expenses, per diem, and honoraria.
