The Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) is closely monitoring the Government Shutdown. While parts of the federal government (such as DHHS) are fully funded for the entire Fiscal Year ’19, other agencies are not.
Information in this guidance applies only to those agencies affected by the partial shutdown, NIH for example, should not be affected.
We will keep you posted as we learn more.

In an effort to align existing processes related to approving expenses that post to sponsored projects, going forward, review and approval by the PI and OSP will be required prior to submitting any financial transfer requests (FTR), billing requests, and salary adjustments resulting in a bill to CSUSM Corporation. Submitting any of these requests to accounting without the proper approvals may cause delays. Please plan accordingly and remember that accounting deadlines remain unchanged. Contact your Sponsored Project Analyst (SPA) with any questions.
January 23, 2019
Beginning in January, 2019, ProCard reconciliation packets for Corporation ProCards will need to be submitted using the CSUSM Corporation ProCard Reconciliation Form. This will begin with the late January 2019 reconciliation (for purchases made after December 26, 2018).
Please be aware, this form is different than the Stateside Reconciliation Form found on CSUSM’s Procurement website.
Scholarship payments to students using sponsored project funds now require the review/approval by OSP using a Scholarship Request Form. The information required on the form is essentially the same information that is currently being provided. The change to note is the review/approval by OSP before routing to Financial Aid for processing. Once OSP approves the request, we will, as courtesy, forward the request to Financial Aid who will then process the disbursement.
PLEASE NOTE: The announcement recently made through PCBO about a change in single transaction and monthly spend limits does not apply to Corporation cardholders. There were no changes made in this regard for the Corporation ProCard program.
