Award Closeout

The closeout of a restricted (RC) or unrestricted (RG) sponsored program award finalizes the MSU project account and closes it in the university financial system. The process is initiated by CGA after the project period end date. The CGA group responsible for the closeout of your account is dependent on whether sponsor funds were received by submitting invoices or if funding was drawn from a payment system, also known as letter of credit (LOC).

Information regarding the process of closing an RC or RG account, including the tasks and responsibilities required of CGA, department administrators and principal investigators, is included in the below links.
