Grant funds must be distributed to an Administrative Office on campus to the attention of the appropriate administrator. All distributed funds must be allocated towards direct expenses or only up to 20% can be allocated towards indirect expenses.
Fellows are responsible for collecting documentation of project expenses, including associated receipts and invoices. Copies of documentation must be submitted to the Administrative Office and/or Fellowship Coordinator.
