Temporary Projects

Request a temporary project to manage your award expenses from Day 1.

Approval for a temporary project chartstring may be requested before receipt of an award when there is a very high likelihood that the award will be made. Temporary projects are recommended so that payroll and other expenses for project investigators and staff will be charged to the correct project, reducing the need for payroll and other cost transfers in the future.
