The file will then be turned over to the Grant Accountant and an account will be established within the University's accounting system. The Grant Accountant will work with you throughout the program period, establishing the budget, preparing financial reporting, drawing funds, submitting invoices and making budget revisions and journal entries. The Grant Accountant maintains the official program file for the University. Notification Received - Proposal Declined Do not give up. There are other sponsors and funding cycles and we will try again.
Many programs take several tries before they are funded.
Either the Principal Investigator or the Director, SPAR, will contact the program officer to obtain the reviewer's comments or other information concerning the review and why the program was not funded. Modifications can then be made to the proposal and it can be re-submitted to the same sponsor in the next funding cycle or to a different sponsor.
