Awards process
Notification of a new award
The principal investigator (PI) is usually notified of an award directly from the sponsor. If you receive notice of an award please forward to research.eds@sheffield.ac.uk or post to:
Pricing & Contracts Team

Accepting an award
When an award is received by R&IS it is checked against the application to ensure that the budgets are sufficient for the project. R&IS will confirm the award with the sponsor and will send a copy of any correspondence to the PI. All awards are signed by R&IS on behalf of the University. R&IS will check the award for collaborators and ensure that any necessary agreements are put in place as appropriate, you may be contacted during this process to provide further contracting information. You can also request for an agreement to be put in place by completing the Research Agreement Request Form.
Setting up a research account
R&IS will automatically handover any project to the appropriate team within Research Finance for an account to be set up. Research Finance will write to a PI to formally notify them of the account number and any other important information that they need to be aware of in terms of the accounting procedure for each specific grant. Any e-recruitment forms can then be completed and the recruitment process can begin. Please contact your HR Faculty representative for any recruitment queries.
