TEES Research Services is ready to assist you in this effort, as well as keep you up to date on the latest requirements.

The following is a list of some of the mandatory information required for all prime and sub recipients:
• Project description and status
• Number of jobs retained or created as a result of this funding
• Names and salaries of the top 5 officers of each prime and sub recipient entity
• Vendor name and a description of items for all purchases $25,000 or more

The Texas A&M University System and the Texas Engineering Experiment Station offer several Specialized Service Facilities. Because of the specialized nature of these facilities the federal government (OMB Circular A-21 part J.47) allows the costs of such services to be charged directly to the applicable awards based on a schedule of rates established for the individual facility.

“A Huge Success”
On June 24, 2008, TEES Fiscal Office and the Office of Sponsored Research, hosted The TEES Expenditure Compliance Workshop. It was a great opportunity for Regional Division personnel to meet the TEES personnel who handle the daily paperwork for vouchers, travel, property inventory, purchasing, etc. Regional personnel were also given the chance to network with each other. The 30 participants arrived from destinations as far apart of the Texas Panhandle to the Coast. If you have questions about this workshop, or possible future meetings please contact Cindy Baxter at 979-458-7630. cbaxter@tamu.edu.

It has always been the responsibility of TEES to ensure that a Principal Investigator has as much knowledge about a research project from the inception to the termination of the research award. When we look at deliverables it is all about timing. In the contract agreement there should be specified deliverables. Those deliverables have due dates. The TEES Research Portal is designed to send automated email reminders when a deliverable is coming due. Those reminders are designed to be of help to the Principal Investigator and Co-PI (if applicable). These automated reminders are sent out 30 days before a deliverable is due, 14 days before a deliverable is due and 30 and 60 days after a deliverable were due. A follow-up courtesy call or email is made to the PI requesting a status update on the possible reasoning for the report being overdue. (more…)
