 <\/p>\n

The purpose of this communication is to provide guidance to College of Natural Resources (CNR) faculty about the steps to be followed in order to request a Pre-Award account.<\/p>\n

Occasionally it may be necessary to establish a project ID (5-account number) before a sponsored agreement is finalized by NCSU.\u00a0 When assured that a sponsored agreement is reasonably expected to materialize, NCSU allows a Pre-Award project number to be established so that the Principal Investigator (PI) can begin the process of recruiting project staff, ordering equipment and supplies, and undertake other similar activities to prepare for the start of the project.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that in the event the University is unable to successfully negotiate and execute an agreement, the Department\/Unit will bear sole financial responsibility for costs incurred on the Pre-award account.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>For this reason, and to limit financial risk to the Department, College, and University, it is CNR policy to limit Pre-Award requests to 25% of the Year 01 budget amount<\/u>.<\/p>\n
