Spending Restriction Does Not Apply to Research Expenses
ISU’s central fund discretionary spending restriction announced on Wednesday, February 18 does not apply to funding accounts from external sponsors (i.e., contract and grant indexes that begin with an “R”). ISU faculty and staff should continue to spend funds provided by external sponsors. Maintaining consistent research expenditure levels is critical to ensuring that ISU research outcomes are delivered on-time as per approved budgets and research agreements. We appreciate your commitment to outstanding research. Keep up the excellent work!
