Why do I have to fill out University paperwork such as Purchase Order Requisitions, Travel Authorizations etc. in order to spend my grant money?
In general, grants are made with the expectation that the University will apply the same standards of accountability to grant funds as it does to public funds. Federal and State grants require this and most private funding sources expect it. If the University fails to apply these standards to the expenditure of grant funds it may be required to return part or all of the grant funds or the institution (including all faculty and students at the University) can lose eligibility to receive future grants.
