Tentative Grants
If expenditures are expected to be incurred before the agreement is fully executed, a tentative grant may be requested through the department head.
The grant will not be linked to an award until SPA receives the fully executed agreement. A tentative grant is a mechanism which allows the PI to charge grant expenditures with the correct source of funds until the award is finalized.
