Congratulations on receiving your award! Here are some tips to help plan for your project and make sure that you meet your sponsor’s expectations for your award.
You will receive a copy of your sponsor’s award when you receive your NIU Notice of Award (NOA) with your grant account number. You will receive this information through InfoEd via your NIU email address. The NOA will also include the name of the SPA Grants and Contracts Associate (GCA) assigned to your award.
Review the award materials thoroughly and contact your GCA right away with any questions.

Remember: While an award’s terms and conditions determine the allowability of specific costs, for federal sponsors, allowability is also based on adherence to NIU policies and procedures. A sponsor may disallow an expense that would otherwise be allowable if NIU policies and procedures are not followed.
