Payment Process

1 Award Offers

UROP makes award offers in decision notices sent by email. Faculty should be attentive to their awarded grant term, because the timelines for these steps differ by term and may require action soon after awards are issued.

2 Award Acceptance

Faculty must accept or decline award offers using an online form linked in their decision notice by the deadline posted online. When funding is awarded, account managers are sent an email to confirm details of the transfer.

3 Open Opportunities

If faculty opted to have their project posted as an open opportunity on our website and promoted among LEAD Alliance communities, all projects will be released soon after the award acceptance deadline.

4 Funding Transfer

UROP pays faculty grants by transferring awarded funds directly to recipients near the beginning of the grant term. UROP follows up with an email to recipients with the journal entry Ìý(JE#) of the transfer.

5 Student Payment

Faculty are expected to spend UROP funding according to the budgets outlined in awarded proposals and to track their expenses for potential audits. We encourage faculty to prioritize social justice in the recruitment and selection of students.
