What are “allowable” expenses?
All expenses charged to a grant must be necessary to achieve the objectives of the approved grant, allocable to that particular project, and allowable under the terms of the grant. Learn more here.
If you’re still not sure whether an expense is allowable, contact the Grants Accounting Office or the SRO.
Monitoring Expenses and Managing Your Grant
As PI/PD, you are the sole budget administrator for your grant and must authorize all expenditures posted to it. Only your signature is needed on vouchers or requisitions. Reimbursements to you must be signed by your supervisor or the Grants Accounting Office.
