ReturnReference Explanation
PART I, LINE 2: DREXEL'S OFFICE OF RESEARCH HAS RESPONSIBILITY FOR OVERSEEING GRANTS (TYPICALLY SUBAWARDS) TO FOREIGN ORGANIZATIONS. THE OFFICE OF RESEARCH BEGINS WITH A "PRE-AWARD PROCESS," WHICH INVOLVES GATHERING BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT THE POTENTIAL GRANTEE, CONDUCTING A RISK ASSESSMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE POTENTIAL GRANTEE, DEVELOPING APPROPRIATE TERMS FOR THE GRANTS, AND ENTERING INTO A WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH THE GRANTEE. ONCE A GRANT HAS BEEN APPROVED IN PRINCIPLE, THE OFFICE OF RESEARCH FOCUSES ON THE "OPERATIONS AND COMPLIANCE PROCESS," WHICH INVOLVES USING VISUAL COMPLIANCE TO SCREEN PAYEES AGAINST THE "SPECIALLY DESIGNATED NATIONALS" LIST OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT'S OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSET CONTROL AND SIMILAR WATCH LISTS. ONCE THE GRANTEE HAS PASSED THIS SCREENING AND THERE IS A WRITTEN GRANT AGREEMENT, THE OFFICE OF RESEARCH MOVES TO THE "POST-AWARD PROCESS AND EXPENSES MONITORING." THIS INVOLVES REVIEWING PROPOSED GRANT PAYMENTS TO ENSURE THAT THE GRANTEE HAS PROVIDED APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE GRANT EXPENSES AND THAT SUCH EXPENSES FALL WITHIN THE CATEGORY OF "ALLOWABLE EXPENSES" UNDER THE PARTICULAR PRIME GRANT OR CONTRACT. DREXEL ALSO REQUIRES THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR OF THE PRIME GRANT OR CONTRACT (WHO IS TYPICALLY A DREXEL PROFESSOR OR RESEARCHER) TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED PAYMENTS AND DOCUMENTATION OF THE SERVICES RENDERED PRIOR TO MAKING PAYMENT. IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE USE OF FUNDS BY A GRANTEE, DREXEL CONDUCTS AN INVESTIGATION AND WITHHOLDS ANY FURTHER PAYMENT PENDING RESOLUTION OF THE INVESTIGATION.
PART I, LINE 3: THE ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING METHOD IS USED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE EXPENSES.
