RSP 509–02: Reports and Deliverables from Sponsored Projects

To outline the responsibilities of the principal investigator and the Office for Research and Sponsored Projects Administration for reports and deliverables required by the funding agency

Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Affairs

The principal investigator (PI) is responsible for the preparation and timely submission of all technical reports and deliverables. The Office for Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (ORSPA) is authorized to prepare and responsible for timely submission of all expenditure reports. All expenditure reports must be supported properly by the official ASU file.

The principal investigator is responsible for any periodic technical progress reports, deliverables involving technical results, and the final technical report. For the official ASU file, the PI will provide ORSPA with one copy of the following, as applicable:

1. all progress reports and the accompanying Progress Report Certification, ORSPA 520 form
2. deliverable confirmations
3. the final technical report

   and

4. the submittal letter or e-mail confirmation to the funding agency

Most funding agencies withhold payments and will not approve subsequent awards to the principal investigator, department, or university if technical deficiencies, such as late or inadequate technical reports, occur. ORSPA will notify the principal investigator and/or department chair if a technical report deadline has not been met.

ORSPA is responsible for any expenditure reports, billings, and invoices. The office also coordinates the submission of other reports, such as the Patents and Inventions Report, Contractor’s Release, Contractor’s Assignment of Refunds, Rebates and Credits, and Property Certification or Inventory Report.
