Always ensure that your purchasing aligns with the funder-approved budget.

I need to...

    1. Make a request to the Post-Award Research Coordinator at least 2 months in advance for new vendors

    3. Email the Post-Award Research Coordinator the following:
      1. Full name of the vendor (and contact information if new vendor)
      2. List of materials desired (or you can attach saved shopping list from vendors like Staples or Amazon)
      3. Quantity of each item desired
      4. Confirm which grant should be billed for each item desired

    Delivery dates cannot be guaranteed, as they are contingent on material availability and vendor and campus delivery.
