Grants WorkCenter (GWC) Guide

Faculty and staff who assist their Faculty with sponsored projects have access to Financial Reports in Grants WorkCenter. This tool allows real-time reporting of budget, expenditures, encumbrances, pre-encumbrances, balances and burn rates for sponsored projects. Grants WorkCenter provides high-level demographics of the PIs active sponsored research portfolio.  It also provides the ability to drill down to the transaction detail level. Instructions on how to access it are below.  If you find that you do not have access to Grants WorkCenter but feel that you should, please reach out to your Post-Award Analyst for assistance.
