Current Process for requesting a Residual
fund tranfer or a Fixed Price Contract:
Draft a letter to Dr. Bob Stewart, Vice President for Research and Graduate
Studies. Include the following in your request:
- Request to Close Restricted Account Rxxxx, entitled "[name of project]"
by [sponsor name]
- Verification that deliverables were met (e.g. letter of acceptance
from sponsor will do)
- Copy of Final Report
- Request to transfer the funds from [R account] to [G account]
- Reasons why funds were not needed/spent
- Verification that effort reports were certified
Sign that letter and send it to ORSP attention Cathe Charlier. Do not
use the Cost Transfer form which is used to correct charges - it is not
necessary for this type of transfer request. Upon receipt of the items,
ORSP staff will proceed to get approvals.
ORSP is currently working on a policy to address residual funds, so this
is a temporary solution. I hope that this has answered your questions
and look forward to receiving your request.
Please contact Cathe Charlier at 337-482-1255 or
cathe@louisiana.edu
if you have any questions.
