Beginning next week, the analysts will be working with their updated workload distributions; please see attached. </div><div><span style="background-color:transparent"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:transparent">A couple of updates/reminders: </span></div><div><ul><li><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Please use the updated <a href="https://bmp.ucr.edu/contracts-grants#kuali-questionnaire-form" target="_blank">Kuali form</a> for proposal submission requests. This form notifies our entire C&G team when a Kuali submission request is initiated, ensuring that if an analyst is out, another team member can step in to assist. Try to provide a 2 week notice when possible. The earlier the analyst is informed of an upcoming submission, the sooner they can begin follow‑up, coordinate with subs/co‑PIs, finalize budgets, and ensure timely submission to RED for a thorough review. If there is a subaward, please engage your analyst at least 3 weeks in advance to allow time to coordinate with the subaward institution.</span></li><li>Payroll certifications are still underway. Faculty will continue to receive periodic reminders to complete their certifications. Please complete your certifications as soon as possible after receiving notification to help avoid delays in award management, financial reporting, and award closeout activities. If you have any questions, please contact your analyst. </li><li>The review and closeout of expired awards has begun. Your analyst will be in communication as part of the closeout process.</li><li>Your current analyst will be sending statements as of the last certified ledger (May) to provide you with a balance update on your awards. </li><li>The purchasing & travel team have been communicating regarding pending/outstanding travel and encumbrances to assist with proper closeout. </li><li>The purchasing & travel team are reviewing unpaid AP invoices that are on a hold status.
