Training toolkit

This toolkit serves as a comprehensive resource hub designed to support UW faculty and research staff in managing sponsored projects after awards are granted. It includes targeted “knowledge base” articles and instructional videos covering key post‑award topics—such as cost transfers, faculty salary accounting (“9/12”), institutional base salary, allowable costs, program income, cost sharing, effort reporting, and Wyocloud reporting.

 

Additionally, it highlights upcoming workshops like the NCURA virtual session on AI in customer service, offering guidance on streamlining administrative processes. Overall, the toolkit’s intent is to help researchers navigate financial compliance, reporting, and administrative procedures efficiently while reducing their administrative burden.

Budgeting for compliance: 

designing budgets that survive post-award scrutiny.

 

  • 12:00pm - 1:30pm MT Webinar
  • 1:35pm - 2:30pm MT *After the show* Talk with the Faculty Directly! 

 

  • Budget development during the proposal phase plays a critical role in shaping the financial health and compliance of an award throughout its lifecycle. This session offers Pre-Award professionals a Post-Award lens on budgeting, highlighting how early decisions can either support or hinder long-term financial integrity. Through real-world examples and practical strategies, we'll explore common pitfalls such as unallowable costs, effort commitments, and cost-sharing challenges, and how to proactively address them during proposal preparation. Attendees will leave with actionable insights to design budgets that meet sponsor expectations, align with institutional policies, and withstand Post-Award scrutiny.
