What's New?

REVISED TRANSMITTAL AND NEW EQUIPMENT FABRICATION POLICY AND FORMS
The Office of Research Services and Sponsored Programs (ORSSP) has revised the TRANSMITTAL SHEET, effective immediately. Among other changes, the new transmittal includes the Controller's new EQUIPMENT FABRICATION POLICY.

The Controller's Office has created the new Equipment Fabrication on a Grant or Sponsored Program policy, as well as two accompanying forms: (1) Notification of Placement in Service for Fabricated Equipment and (2) Fabrication Information Setup. The policy and forms are available at the Controller's Office Policies, Procedures and Guidelines web page HERE, and also from the ORSSP Forms page.

Any questions about the new transmittal sheet should be directed to your grants coordinator. Any questions regarding equipment fabrication should be directed to your grant accountant.
