WHAT was PAM?<\/h2>\n

The Project Administration and Management (PAM) project was a campus initiative to review and implement post-award accounting and management tools available to researchers, staff, and administrators with the primary goal of dramatically decreasing the administrative burden on researchers, specifically, the PAM initiative goals were to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Provide high quality support to researchers<\/li>\n
  2. Facilitate and enable the growth of research<\/li>\n
  3. Evoke a culture of compliance<\/li>\n
  4. Establish a means for accurate decision-making<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    WHY was it needed?<\/h2>\n

    The University of Utah (Utah) secured over $450 million dollars in sponsored award funding in fiscal year 2010 and has approximately 3,200 active awards from federal, non-federal and industry sponsors. Additionally, Utah has seen an incredible increase in award expenditures \u2013 a 52% increase since fiscal year 2006 \u2013 but the infrastructure and support such growth needs to be updated.<\/p>\n

    When was it completed?<\/h2>\n

    The Project Administration and Management project was completed in December 2012. Grants & Contracts Accounting<\/a> and The Office of Sponsored Projects<\/a> are now using the new Grants modules created during the roject Administration and Management project. More information about this project can be found in FBS News<\/a> and the Momentum Newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
