Foreign Currency Awards Sponsored Project’s Process • Sponsored Projects attempts to negotiate US dollars for all foreign sponsored awards. • If attempts are unsuccessful, Sponsored Project Officer will obtain consent from the PI and Department Chair to accept foreign currency. • Once accepted, the award synopsis is prepared using the exchange rate as of the date that the award is processed. Please note that the award synopsis will not be adjusted based upon the amount received. • Department must review the payment terms/schedule to determine when payments will be made in order to monitor the actual amount received from the sponsor. • Contract and Grant Accounting should be contacted to determine the actual amount received from the sponsor.
