Occasionally the outcome of such a negotiation is a reduced set of objectives and activities to be performed for a reduced budget. This negotiation process can take from a few days to several weeks. The staff in OGC who helped you with the proposal should be your first point of contact on such matters. The OGC staff will assist you in the preparation of any additional or revised materials that have to be submitted. While you will have the final say internally on whether the changes are compatible with the objectives and activities proposed, only the university's authorized representatives can formally agree to negotiated changes.
Significant revisions require a second signoff process on campus.
Award Acceptance Government grants, all project contracts, and a few private grant sources are handled through the CSUF Foundation. Some grants and contracts from the CSU and the state government are accepted by and handled through the university itself. Therefore formal acceptance of grants and contracts is to be made by authorized officials of either the CSUF Foundation or the university and not by an individual faculty member, chair, or dean. These accepting units have the responsibility for the fiscal administration of the grant or contract award. Inform your sponsor that it should make all payments to the CSUF Foundation.
