Sponsored Project award notices and all accompanying materials should be directed to the Division of Sponsored Programs, dsp@uiowa.edu.
Awards are made to The University of Iowa, rather than the individual applicant, and carry a specific set of terms and conditions the institution must accept.
Terms and conditions generally include guidelines for administering and performing the project in accordance with sponsor requirements.
DSP reviews, negotiates, and accepts awards on behalf of the University.
DSP in conjunction with the Grant Accounting Office (GAO) issues the Award Authorization Activation Notice (AAAN):
GAO sets up the project account/Master File Key (MFK)
A link to the AAAN is emailed to the PI and departmental administrators
A copy of the AAAN and corresponding award documents are available on the DSP Research Tracker.
