Award Closeout

When your project period is finished, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) will ensure that all required closeout procedures are met. You must submit a copy of your final report to ORSP for official record retention purposes.

Please note: this page is not a comprehensive list of all award closeout policies, requirements, and processes. If you have questions about closing out your award that are not addressed here, please contact your grants and contracts officer.

Processes and Procedures


Expenditures at the End of a Program

Large expenditures or large quantities of materials purchased at the end of a project may not be considered reasonable or allowable. It is always best to obtain written approval from the grant official at the sponsoring agency prior to incurring these types of expenses within the last 90 days of a project.

Post-Award Contacts

If you have questions about or issues with the award setup process, please contact an ORSP grants and contracts officer.
