Post-award Frequently Asked Questions

Once a grant proposal has been officially awarded or a contract has been fully executed, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs will work with the Grants Accounting Office to set up an account number and convey that information to the PI.

The PI will have be able to view that account and carry out purchasing actions through Mercer Workday system.

The indirect cost rate assigned at the time of the award remains the same for the duration of the award, unless the grant agreement specifically states the rate should be updated to the more current negotiated rate.
