Prior Approval to Incur Expenditures Prior to Receipt of Award:

The DGCA has developed a procedure for project directors who need to incur costs on a new award or continue an existing project, without interruption, when an official award or continuation is delayed.

In accordance with instructions on the form the DGCA may authorize a new account or the continuation of an existing one if the unit provides a backup account and a letter of intent from the sponsor. To initiate the request, complete the form and forward to the DGCA. Grants from the Federal agencies of Agriculture, Air Force, Army, Energy, National Science Foundation, Navy, NASA, and Public Health Service are covered by a comparable procedure titled Institutional Prior Approval System (IPAS) issued May 7, 1992.
