HOW DO I SUBMIT A GRANT PURCHASE REQUISITION?

Follow these steps:

1. Plan with allowable time in mind for processing, ordering and shipping of orders.
2. Review the monthly budget summaries saved to the RF Grants drive for funds availability. If you need access to the RF Grants drive or you have any funding questions, please contact the Restricted Funds Accountant.
3.  Contact the Restricted Funds Accountant for questions related to an expense being allowable.
4. Choose a vendor and complete the Grant purchase requisition form with all pertinent information (i.e. vendor, item number, item name, printout of shopping cart if applicable, price and shipping).
5. Include specific shipping cost. Estimates are acceptable, but a cost must go there even if “0.”
6. Sign as Principal Investigator and obtain approval signature from your Supervisor.
7. Deliver the signed requisition to the Restricted Funds Accountant for processing.
