An Award Letter from agency approving the project. The letter should have at a minimum:

1. Starting date of project
2. Total funding amount of the project
3. Language indicating that they are authorizing NJIT to start incurring expenses

Upon award notification, SRA staff will review sponsoring agency award budget against internal sign-off of budget. If fringe rates have changed since time of award, new rates will apply and PI will need to adjust budget accordingly.

Once PI returns current updated budget to SRA, a request to create a new index number will be processed.

At the time of the Award notification from Agency, the Office of Research will be setting up grant index within 24 to 48 hour after notification without contingencies to budget changes.
