FY13-14 Variance Analysis • Total Sponsored Programs expenditures are comprised of awards classified as Instructional/Public Service and Research. • Grants expire, commence or carry forward to next fiscal year (due to multi-year awards and/or from no cost extensions). • Research expenditures were essentially unaffected so the net reduction in expenditures occurred in Instructional/Public Service. • FY13 had 118 active Instructional/Public Service awards with $12M in expenditures. • 61 FY13 awards carried forward into FY14 while 57 terminated. • FY14 had 27 few accounts with 91 active awards (61 from FY13 and 30 new accounts) with $8M in expenditures. The expenditures from 30 new FY14 accounts ($3.1M) offset the loss in expenditures from 57 FY13 accounts that completely expired. With 27 fewer accounts there was less opportunity to offset reductions. • The net change in total sponsored programs expenditures resulted from 61 FY13 awards ($8M) that carried forward to FY14 ($4M) or a difference of $4M. Based on the award periods the most likely reason for the decline was non-availability of funding to spend.
FY13-14 Variance Analysis Summary: Approximately 83% ($3.3M) of the $4M difference in instruction/Public Service expenditures occurred in the following 9 awards shown below.
