Good morning,
You have the following final reports due for May. Please review all expenses to verify that they are allowable and allocable to the project. Also, please address any outstanding encumbrances and/or overdrafts that are remaining on the award.
FUND 550055--The PI is Peter Venkman and the sponsor is the Columbia University. There is a balance of $2,548.35.
I will need an update on the reportable status of these awards as soon as possible. If there are any unfreeze requests that you may have, submit them no later than May 11th. Also, please ensure that all encumbrances are cleared. Please note that all finals will be submitted no later than the day they are due. If no action is taken to bring the grant to a close or no status is given to me by the end of the month, I will assume that the report can be submitted. Any remaining balance will be returned and overdrafts charged back to the department.
Thanks,
