1. Introduction

Actions that require prior approval are cited in the award documents for each sponsored project or in general agency guidelines. The more standard and critical deadlines and prior approval requirements for Federal and Federal flow-through awards are summarized on the "Federal Regulatory Checklists" provided by the Office of Contracts and Grants to the principal investigator and college business officer.

2. Procedure for Prior Approval Request

All post-award administrative actions requiring prior approval based on University or Sponsor regulations must be forwarded to the Office of Contracts and Grants using the Prior Approval Request Form (CG-005). The Prior Approval Request Form should be completed with all required information/signatures and be accompanied by written technical justification in support of the requested action(s). This C&G form can be used to request multiple actions at one time but should NOT be used to request set up of a "pre-award" project. The Office of Contracts and Grants will review the requested action(s). Approval or disapproval of the action(s) will be made by the Office of Contracts and Grants or the sponsoring agency, as appropriate. If contract modification is necessary, the Office of Sponsored Programs and Regulatory Compliance Services will be included in the approval/denial process.

To obtain the form and instructions for completion, please go to the Contracts and Grants website at http://www7.acs.ncsu.edu/cng/forms/ .
