OGC AWARD ROUTING
What is the Routing System? Awards are routed from the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP). There are many internal processes that have to be completed in the Office of Grants and Contracts (OGC) for an award, so we have developed a routing system in order for the necessary processes to be completed by the appropriate personnel. In addition, the routing system allows for checks and balances, and a record of what has been completed, when it was completed, and by whom. Each award packet that is brought into OGC is given an OGC Award Routing Checklist sheet (image below) that is kept with the packet of information and updated as it progresses through the routing process throughout the office. This checklist is an internal tool used to track the progress of award documents and data entry processes. It can be discarded when all processing tasks are completed.

It is important for all award documents be routed and processed as quickly as possible. 1. Diane a. Receives the award from OSP. b.
