Award Acceptance

OSPR Award Notification to PI

  1. OSPR will send a brief congratulatory email notice to the project director when an award is received from the sponsoring agency – private, public, corporate or non-profit.
  2. Once the Grant Account Number is assigned, OSPR will send the Account Number Notification Letter to the project director.
  3. In the case of Foundation awards, OSPR will send a copy of the Account Number Notification Letter to University Advancement.
  4. It should be noted that the initial email generally goes out the same day the award letter is received by OSPR. The account number letter can take anywhere from a few days to a few months to go out, depending on what needs to be done before CSU can accept the award (e.g., revised budget, scopes of work, etc.).
