Post Award Actions
Post Award Actions are undertaken when changes need to occur on active sponsored projects. The Post Award Services Team serves as the primary point of contact and act as the liaison with external sponsors. The team provides services and works closely with the Fiscal Services team to support a range of post award actions which include but are not limited to:
PI Role & Responsibility
Throughout the life of an award, it is the PI’s responsibility to ensure compliance with the award terms and conditions. The PI should familiarize themselves with the defined Roles & Responsibilities of a Principal Investigator at the University of Maine. All requests for post award changes should be made by the PI in a timely manner to ensure adequate time for ORA approval and sponsor notification under the terms and conditions of the award.
For Non-Federal sponsored programs (e.g. industry, foundations, foreign government, non-profits), consult the terms of the agreement for guidance as requirements vary depending on the sponsor’s policies.
ORA Role & Responsibility
The Post Award Services team are responsible for making requests to sponsors, in consultation with the PI as necessary, to obtain approval for changes on an existing University of Maine award.
Please contact the Post Award Services Team if you need assistance with a change on your active award by reaching out to ora@maine.edu.
