Once an award is ready for processing, Institutional Compliance and Integrity (ICI) notifies the Principal Investigator (PI)/Project Director (PD), Department Chairperson/Director, and other applicable personnel, that the award has been received.
Establish Grant/Research Contract Cost Centers
Once the PI/PD receives notice of award, a cost center may be requested by the PI/PD or the department administrator by completing a Cost Center Request Form online. The notice of award and the final budget must be uploaded to the cost center request form as part of the submission process.
ICI receives the submitted Cost Center Request Form and reviews for accuracy and compliance. Once the initial review is complete, ICI works with the Business Office to establish new grant/research contract cost centers in PSU's GUS Cloud (Oracle), and makes revisions to existing cost centers as warranted.
Our goal is to process all cost centers within five business days of receipt of the request form. However, departments may see minor delays during high volume times of the year or when the Business Office must return a cost center request form to ICI for correction or additional information.
For general questions about cost center set-up, please contact ICI at grants@pittstate.edu. For specific cost center questions, please contact the Business Office at busof@pittstate.edu.
Below are the forms and policies you will likely need for award set-up.
Financial Conflict of Interest Disclosure for Public Health Services Funded Projects

This includes the Principal Investigator, Co-Investigators, Senior and Key Personnel, and any other individual who is responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research funded by PHS or an agency or organization that follows PHS disclosure requirements. Additionally, PHS FCOI Disclosure forms shall be filed for new SFIs and updated information from a previously disclosed SFI, as soon as such situations become known, and in any instance, not later than thirty (30) days after discovery or acquisition of the SFI.
