Report Center is an analytical tool allowing campuses to view integrated information from the RF’s business system.  As sponsored projects end and in preparation for awards to be closed, PI's can use the Report Center in consultation with their campus sponsored programs staff for all financial elements of their grants, including expenditure activity and remaining balances, insuring that employee salaries have been properly charged, final settlement of open and encumbered POs, and expenditures associated with collaborators at other institutions (i.e. subawards to third party organizations).
