Activities that take place following award authorization but prior to closeout are part of the “post award” phase of the sponsored project lifecycle. As performance of the project occurs, there can be many activities that require interaction between Principal Investigator/Study Staff, the sponsor and VCU’s central offices.

See the pre-proposal section of this navigator for guidance on adding a CDA, DUA, or MTA during the post-award phase.
