ORSP is responsible for negotiating and accepting project awards (i.e. grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, subcontracts, etc.) on behalf of UNCP. A Notice of Award (NOA) is notification from the sponsor that an award has been approved and funded, and it contains information about the amount of funds obligated, the period for performance, and the scope of work, and information about the terms and conditions associated with the award.

Note: An NOA is normally sent to OSRP -- the authorized office to receive and accept award notices on behalf of the University. Principal Investigator (PD/PI) receives an NOA directly, they should forward it to OSRP for review, negotiation, and acceptance.

Once an award has been accepted, OSRP issues an award transmittal to Division of Finance & Administration for the award setup in the Banner system.
