In response to multiple department requests, the SRAS created a report to provide monthly department-level information for chairs/directors and department administrators pertaining to grant budgeted funds vs. actual expensed funds. The report uses information from BW (the reporting tool for the University’s financial system) to establish a burn rate to estimate how each grant is expensing and will expense over the course of the grant life.
