Once the grant or contract is negotiated and fully executed, a grant account will be set-up by the Sponsored Programs assistant who is in charge of grant accounting.

Grant accounts are restricted accounts and begin either with 15- for private or corporate funding sources or 20- for federal, state, or local government sources.

Accessing your account information
Each account will be located in a folder with the PI's name on it. These folders can be found on the “G” or grants drive. To map the G drive to your computer follow these instructions:
