Knowledge Enterprise is responsible for monitoring all sponsored project audits. Research Operations is charged with coordinating audits and programmatic reviews of sponsored grant and contract programs.

University personnel must refer all requests from external agency representatives to review technical performance, technical reporting, or financial activity on a sponsored grant or contract to the Research Operations Executive Director.
