After receiving an internal award, complete a PDRF with the following attachments:

• Award Letter and Cover Sheet
• Approved Budget
• Any required protocol approvals

Find detailed instructions on how to complete a PDRF for University Research awards here.

OSR will initiate the PTA set-up process. The setup process for University Research Awards follows the same path as all other sponsored projects through the SeRA system.

The Setup Process

1. After the PDRF for the University Research Award is received and processed by OSR, OSR will process the associated award transaction and an Award Approval Notification (AAN) is created and emailed to the project stakeholders.
2. A New PTA Setup transaction is automatically generated and assigned to a department administrator via the SeRA system for review and completion of the desired award configuration and entry of the budget allocation details.
3. The New PTA Setup transaction is then routed to OSR for review of the information provided by the department administrator.  If the information is complete and accurate, OSR will submit and baseline the budget in Oracle to complete the process.
4. The Notice of Award (NOA) will be sent out once the New PTA Setup transaction has been completed. The NOA will now include PTA details.

To Begin Spending

Upon notification that the PTA has been set up, the department is to contact the awarding organization to create an iJournal Funds Transfer to transfer University funds to cover the amount of the award.
