INTRODUCTION

This Manual provides guidance to researchers and administrators for administering sponsored programs consistent with Federal regulations and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) policy.  Sponsors, especially the federal government, require that funds provided to VCU be used appropriately for the benefit of research and other sponsored activities. The federal government provides detailed regulations in the Office of Management and Budget Circulars A-21, A-110, and A-133.  This Manual provides a summary of both the applicable federal regulations and VCU financial policies, in addition to links to resources providing more details, and contact information for individuals who can also be of assistance.

This website and manual are maintained by the Office of Grants and Contracts Accounting.  If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the content, please contact Margie R. Booker, Director at 804-828-0033 or mrbooker@vcu.edu.
