Notice of Award
An NOA is requested once Pre Award has at a minimum completed for the file the following items:
- DSR-1
- Cost-sharing document as applicable
- The proposal (scope of work, budget and justification)
- A funding instrument from the Sponsor
- Documentation (internal and external) has the appropriate signatures by the authorized officials of both the University and Sponsor
Depending on the Sponsor, documentation will vary for awards. However, once everything is received, the information is entered into PeopleSoft, and a request is made to the Division of Sponsored Research (DSR) to issue an NOA, which is the internal official award to establish and to be processed through the sponsored programs systems and database prior to being submitted to Post Award Administration which would process the financial aspect of the award.
For more details about the information contained in an NOA, please see our NOA Terminology area.
