Awards Management Process


Electronic Award Notification (LEO)

Once ORSP receives notice that the account has been activated in the FMS, an electronic award letter is generated and distributed. You will receive an electronic mail notification prompting you, any co-investigators, your chair and dean to log onto ORSP's LEO system and view your congratulatory letter. This letter will contain your account information, including your account number, a link to your award document from the sponsor, budget, proposal, and the details of the indirect costs distribution.

Another important account number that is associated with the award letter is your Research Incentive Account number (please refer to the Research Incentive subsection). If this is your first funded proposal, ORSP will assign you an account number that collects the PI/PD portion of OHIO 's recovered indirect costs. If you have an account number already, the aw ard letter will indicate the indirect costs recovery distribution for that specific project. Each project can differ in distribution based on collaborations or specific waivers granted to the PI/PD or college. As you develop a catalog of funded projects, you may query the ORSP database to retrieve all project associated with you.

TIP: The LEO system is ORSP's proposal and awards management system that provides award letters and related documents to PI/PD's and any co-PI/PD's and related administrators upon account establishment.
