Financial Administration
We support all financial administration related to SRC activities, helping researchers maintain control over project expenses and monitor funding allocations.
Our Research Accounts Support Officer (RASO), assists researchers in managing the financial aspects of their projects effectively. Specifically, we can support requests related to:
- account balances
- expense eligibility inquiries
- travel and research expense reimbursement
- contract processing and payment for research assistants and research staff
- vendor payments
- other research finance related question
