Hands-on Exercise 21 continued:
More info on Residuals
1/18/2019
Be aware that when OSP moves the residual amount into a Various fund, they REDUCE the Revenue without changing the budget or actual expenses, which brings the Cash Balance to zero.
You can also ask OSP to proof the Indirect on a fund in situations where the indirect budget has not been spent because of changes to the project such as:
You hired a GRA instead of a post-doc so there are more tuition charges
You bought more equipment than planned.
This can leave extra indirect budget in the fund. With NSF and DOD sponsors you may be allowed to re-budget those dollars to a direct line. This will require OSP to proof the indirect to make sure it’s been charged correctly.
