Procedures Manual - Research Grants / Administration of Grant

The administration of research and strategic grants is carried out by three parties: the grantee, the university, and the granting agency. A file for the grant is established in the Finance Division at this point. It is incumbent on the Accounting Analyst to be aware of what spending is allowed under the terms of the research grant.

• The grantee authorized expenditures in accordance with regulations (outlined in, or imposed as a condition of the grant) and with TRU policies.  Recipients of grants are responsible for expenditures from their grant funds, subject to the grant regulations and subject to all relevant university policies.

• The university administers the grant funds, and establishes appropriate policies, controls and systems to ensure that regulations are followed.  TRU may decline to approve an expenditure proposed by the grantee if such expenditure contravenes grant regulations or university policies.
