Sponsored Projects Policy Spotlight: Program Income
Sponsored Projects Policy FI0235 lays out the policies defining program income and the procedures for using it. Curious what is and isn’t considered program income? It’s all in this policy! Note that most federal agencies have additional restrictions on when program income is allowed and how it can be used. The most restrictive policy always applies.
Best,
Ashley Ledford,
Director of Pre-Award Services
