Account Set-Up to Account Close-Out

After contract finalization,  SPAA will establish an account number and send an email to the PI and departmental contact (post-award specialist). 

A meeting will be requested between the PI and Post-Award specialist to review the proposed budget and discuss a plan of action relating to personnel, consultants, participant incentives, travel, subawards, supplies, and more. 

With account administrative access, you may view your balances in UT Direct
