Accounting & Speedtypes

Accounting

Am I required to track and report expenses?

UROP does not require faculty to report spending or provide receipts but encourages recipients to consult with their area accountants about the management of award funding.

What can I do with unspent UROP funding?

If any funds are unspent after the event, faculty may return funding or request extensions by contacting us.

Speedtypes

"Fund 10" ST are preferred, but UROP can also transfer to Fund 20, 26, 28 and 29 accounts. All departments must pay fringe on salary expenses, and the rate varies based on employee type (faculty, staff, student). GAIR will be charged if you use an auxiliary and self-funded operations speedtype (20, 26, 28, 29).

Do I need to create a new ST?

UROP does not require faculty to create new ST for these awards, but they may do so as desired.

What do I put on my application if I plan a new ST?

Faculty who wish to setup a new ST may wait to do so until decision notices are sent and should enter "000000" on the application form.
