Building new accounts and budgets

After Research and Sponsored programs awards grants and contracts, they request an account number and forward documents to Grants Accounting.

If there are questions on the status on the account, budget, etc, please contact , at (309) 438-5131.

The Grant Budget Worksheet that is received from RSP should be completed and returned to Grants Accounting. Budgets are built per contract specifications.

If agencies require specific dollars for defined expenses, the accounts will be built with allocated dollars in different umbrella accounts (salaries, contractual, commodities, etc.). If agencies allow the Principal Investigator flexibility in spending, only a general umbrella account will be used, with all object codes pooled to that umbrella.
