issued.

Grant accounting:
• A monthly report will be provided to the PI by their accounting
tech by the 15th of each month

from the sponsor.
Procedure for ending a Grant:

tech to review the process of closing the project.
• Please refer to: rampoint.colostate.edu – research
tab, then column My Active Research projects to look at your grants
end dates and additional information.
• If your grant has ended and it is a fixed agreement, you
will be asked by your accounting tech to spend out any monies left
over. This will insure that your grant monies will not be part of
the sweep process. Please refer to this website for additional information:
