Even before you apply for the award, OCG Compliance can, in conunction with your proposal analyst, guide you through requirements to identify resources you need.
Certifications & Representations
Sponsors often require CU to certify to the University’s processes and procedures used when managing funding. CU is generally required to certify to these before the University is able to receive project funding. Examples of certs and reps asked for include the certification of:
- the University’s cost accounting standards,
- a drug-free workplace,
- a whistleblower policy,
- funds received will not contribute to any lobbying efforts,
- employees who have been suspended, debarred or charged with criminal activity are not allowed to administer federal funds on behalf of the University.
Property/Fabrications
Budget justifications and scope of work should include detailed information as to how the proposed property and equipment purchases are reasonable, allocable, and essential for the performance of project.
Since Department Administrators, OCG and other central offices assist Principal Investigators (PIs) with the management of property and equipment purchased with University funds, having such information accessible at the beginning will make purchases more seamless later on.
OCG Compliance can help PIs and Department Administrators understand what allowable costs are included in fabrications.

Restricted Research Guidance
For some projects, CU is required to meet additional security requirements as outlined by the Federal Government. The OCG Compliance team provides guidance for PIs and Departments in navigating additional requirements of restricted research.
