An allocation transfer or budget revision is used to move allocations between accounts or allocation categories.
The procedures and guidelines for transferring allocation differ depending on the type of expenditure and the funding source involved in the transfer.
Transfers of allocation must be within the same funding source.
Units may sub-allocate their funds by sending requests to the Non-Sponsored Group mailbox requesting the establishment of additional projects to be funded by their approved allocation. The time period for each project is determined at the discretion of the awarding unit.
Accounts funded by a pool of existing funds, such as facility and administrative cost recovery accounts, receive funding from various sources. The largest pool consists of the yearly funded indirect cost pool, facilitated by the university’s internal financial plan process. The funding is divided and used to support various administrative accounts for the Provost, academic Deans and academic support units, organized research units, research support units and research incentive programs authorized by the Provost or VP for Research.
The continuing master award that was set up is 75023. Functional projects are then established, or previous year accounts are used based on preference, for each unit receiving Research Foundation (RF) funding from the university’s internal financial plan.
