Collecting Funds from the Sponsor

Special Funds Accounting (SFA) is responsible for collecting funds from the sponsor.
Each project, in its awarding document, has specific requirements for either billing the sponsor or drawing down funds from a designated web portal.
Please note: If the sponsor is a private company or industry, Appalachian will require advance payments in the contract agreement.
SFA staff will review all grant or contract expenditures for reasonableness prior to submitting the request for payment to the sponsor.
In the event of sponsor non-payment of the invoice submitted, collection procedures (PDF) are invoked.
