Research Grants

Sponsored grants include governmental and private granting agencies that support a broad array of activities, particularly research and related activities. Denison supports efforts of faculty and staff to secure grants in support of their research and teaching. These grants are almost always made to Denison in support of a faculty/staff member's work, and therefore they need to be reviewed and approved at various levels within the College, and they need to be included in Denison's financial records.

If you are involved in the proposal process to a granting agency, the following steps should be followed:

• If your proposal is to a private foundation, Denison's Senior Development Officer, Lyn Boone, will need to be involved with the proposal process. The Senior Development Officer is our liaison with private foundations. Please contact the Officer early in the proposal process.
• All grant proposals (private and governmental) must be reviewed and approved by the Provost before they are submitted to the granting agency. Requests for matching funds from Denison must be authorized by the Provost, and a funding source identified.
• If the Provost supports the grant proposal, forward a copy of the proposal and budget to the Controller for final review before submitting to the granting agency. Include an indication of the funding source for any matching funds.

The Controller is available during the proposal process to provide guidance on budgetary issues. Please prepare your grant proposals well enough in advance of grant deadlines to allow for an adequate review by the Provost and Controller.

If your grant proposal is funded by the granting agency:

• Forward the grant award letter to the Controller, along with a copy of the grant budget if the authorized funding is different from the requested funding. The Controller will establish an account number for your grant. All grant expenditures are to be charged directly to this grant account.
• For Federal grants, the Controller will calculate and charge the grant for any Facilities and Administrative Costs funded by the grant. The Controller will also send quarterly invoices to the appropriate Federal Agency requesting reimbursement of grant expenditures. Most private foundations do not require an invoice, however the Controller can generate an invoice if one is needed.
• If you receive payment of a grant directly, please forward the check to the Controller for deposit to your grant account.
• Special reports required by the granting agency are your responsibility. The Accounting Office will provide a monthly report of financial transactions to your grant account. If additional financial information is needed for your reports, please contact the Controller or the Accounting Office.
