ASU Grant and Contract Policies
Angelo State University funds shall not be expended for payment of salary to any person who directly receives research funding from a grant or consulting contract not subject to administration by Angelo State University and who may use the resources of the University in carrying out the provisions of the grant or consulting contract. However, Angelo State University may prorate the salary of persons contributing directly to carrying out the provisions of a grant or consulting contract form funds received and administered by the University under the terms of the grant or consulting contract. Angelo State University must be the fiscal agent for all such contracts and grants.
The coordination of all faculty research contracts and grants is the responsibility of the Dean of the Graduate School, who shall be responsible for review of research requests or proposals prior to submission. All requests or proposals requiring disbursement of funds by the University must be reviewed by the Vice President for Fiscal Affairs prior to submission. Regular procedures have been established for preparing grant proposals and for administering grant funds. The Fiscal Office is responsible for the receipt, disbursement, and accounting of all research funds.
Most agencies sponsoring research grants require a final narrative and expenditures report on the grant at the conclusion of the project. Federal regulations also require that the University retain fiscal records on federal grants for the purpose of a possible federal audit, and all grants are subject to audit by the University, The Texas Tech University System, and the State Auditors. It shall be the responsibility of the principal investigator to submit the final narrative and expenditures report to the Dean of the Graduate School and the Business Manager for review and approval before it is sent to the sponsoring agency.
