Post Award Financial Operations
Post Award Financial Operations officially reports to the CFO, but has a stake in both Financial Affairs and Research, and liaises with colleagues from both areas. PAFO works closely and shares space with Sponsored Programs.
PAFO assists faculty and administrators with financial and compliance oversight of sponsored program accounts, financial reporting and billing, effort reporting, service center rate negotiation, and F&A rate proposals.
