Upon award notification (initial or incremental), the sponsor-approved budget is sent to Grants and Contract Accounting for loading into DEFINE.
From time to time, deviation from the approved budget maybe necessary. To initiate a budget transfer, the PI should send an email request indicating the amount of money to be transferred with the from and to categories. The Grants and Contracts Specialist will consult the terms and conditions of the award to see if the request can be approved or if sponsor approval is required. Approval will be sent to the PI and Grants and Contracts Accounting for processing.
Awards that do not contain restrictions for budget categories within categories will be pooled to the 50 category and should not require budget transfer requests.
