About Us

Overview

Staff in Sponsored Programs Accounting (SPA) are responsible for the fiscal administration of externally funded projects including grants, contracts, and special projects. One of our primary responsibilities is to assist principal investigators and administrative staff in navigating through the fiscal and regulatory requirements related to sponsored projects. Our objective is to develop and maintain an infrastructure that supports the University's strategic goal to grow scholarship activity through increased sponsored research. Staff in SPA work closely with Sponsored Research Services Office (SRS) and Principal Investigators to ensure compliance with RIT, federal, and state guidelines regarding grant and contract administration. For more info about grants and contracts (pre- and post-award), visit SRS Pre-Award/Post-Award Non-Financial.
