GRANTS HOME  /  AWARD MANAGEMENT

  Award Management

Daily Operations

The first rule of award management is to work closely with your grants support team, including our Financial Analyst. He will assist with account setup, budget reconciliations and revision, effort reporting, financial reporting, invoices, and purchase orders.

Information Requests

If asked to provide Other Support or other documents containing financial information, reach out to the grants team. Do not provide such information directly.

Contracts

Award agreements and related contracts should be processed through Contracts Navigator. See our SOP for Contract Processing. For help writing subcontracts when Ochsner is the primary awardee, contact the Grants Manager.

Effort Reporting

Regular effort verifications are requested for Principal Investigators and other contributors charging salary to federal grants. Effort Reporting Guidance is available here.
