APU Grants Hub

To start a grant project/program, the first step is to attend an orientation hosted by the Director of Grant Management. The PI/PD will have an overview of the following:

• Creation of a project management plan and task tracking system;

• Project account number and budget;

• The principal investigator/project director’s responsibilities as to grant policies, compliance guidelines, and reporting; 

• Subrecipients monitoring plan, as needed;

• APU expenditure coding and expenditure monitoring;

• Guidelines on purchasing, including equipment, supplies, and travel;

• Guidelines on hiring long-term employees funded by grants;

• Guidelines on hiring short-term employees, external consultants, and contractors funded by grants;

 If not already determined, the distribution of indirect costs within APU can be confirmed at the orientation.
