Contingency Funding

Contingency funding is an "advance" on grant funds that may be requested under certain circumstances. All requests must be approved by the college research coordinator on behalf of the college. If, for some reason, the funding is not awarded to the University, the college will be responsible to cover the contingency funds.

It is often beneficial to make staff appointments and incur certain other expenses prior to the formal notification of an award by the sponsor. When it can be determined with a high degree of certainty that an award will be made, colleges, at their own risk, may incur costs in advance of receipt of the award. Most federal agencies allow pre-award costs for 90 days prior to the formal starting date of a grant, provided that incurring these costs is in the best interest of the project. Others do not allow costs incurred before the project start date, though in some instances, the formal award is received after the project start date. Federal contracts do not allow pre-award costs unless prior approval is specifically requested and approved during negotiation of the terms and conditions.  Colleges should determine whether or not pre-award costs are permitted before requesting and placing charges on the contingency account.  Any expenses charged to any account than a contingency account are solely at the risk of the department.

Contingency funds may be requested when:

• RSP or the PI has received written notification from the sponsoring agency indicating an award will be made.
• An agreement has been received by RSP and is under negotiation.
• An agreement has been returned to the sponsoring agency by RSP, but the fully executed agreement has not yet been received.
