Are approval rules different for an expense on a grant or contract?
A direct supervisor must approve personal reimbursements and procurement charges, even if the expense is made by the Principal Investigator (“PI”). The PI must approve other expenses. All grant expenses are also reviewed by the Grants and Contracts Office, which is checking adequate funding and cost allowability; however, the Grants and Contracts Office does not serve as the expense approver.
