On January 1, 2016, Harvard will put into effect several policy updates pertaining to the work of the Operations and Policy Committee, Office for Sponsored Programs (OSP), and Office of the Controller (OC).
Specifically, updated versions of the following policies will be released:
- Travel Policy
- Sponsored Closeout and Financial Reporting Policy
- Responsibility of Preparers and Approvers Policy
- Sponsored Expenditure Guidelines Policy
The new policies apply to all financial, administrative, and research administration staff, as well as faculty. Although they will not take effect University-wide until January, we strongly encourage early adoption.
Each policy will be featured in more detail in a series of blog posts that OSP will release over the next few weeks. The full policies will also be posted on the OSP and OC websites alongside the current policies for your reference.
In addition, we will be hosting policy information sessions on the following dates:
