Roles & Responsibilities Matrix

The Office of Contracts and Grants (OCG) and Campus Controller’s Office (CCO), as required by Regent Administrative Policy Statement 1012, maintain a Roles & Responsibilities Matrix that details the roles and responsibilities throughout the lifecycle of a sponsored project.
