What are the responsibilities of the CGA Department?

Contract & Grant Accounting's (CGA) objective is to provide support to the University in administering sponsored projects. Sponsored projects can be research, instruction or public service involving funding from an outside source under a legal agreement.

CGA is responsible to the University and to the funding agencies for the financial and regulatory administration of these contracts and grants. We interpret policies of private and governmental funding agencies to ensure that expenditures adhere to regulations and guidelines.

CGA also implements UNM policies and procedures related to contracts and grants. We are also responsible for generating fiscal reports, submitting final financial reports, billing, revenue collection and management, audit responses, subrecipient monitoring, and effort certification, FFATA and E-Verify compliance.
