Welcome to Research accounting

Research accounting is responsible for the post award financial administration of all sponsored research accounts and projects as well as a number of specific purpose and internal accounts.  We provide assistance and advice to the University community while at the same time ensuring the University's responsibilities for the financial administration of these accounts are met.  Research Accounting acts as a liaison between researchers and funding agencies.  We are able to help with budget and expense related questions regarding preparation of budgets for funding applications.  We would be happy to meet with you to discuss your accounts and any questions you may have.
