AMT is your partner in financial management of external funding for university research and sponsored activities. Together, with the units, we manage approximately 3,700 accounts and 2,400 awards which exceed $1.62B.
Our team leads are the focal point for customer problems, questions or concerns. They take the lead on an item to resolution or coordinate with the appropriate team member to provide timely and accurate answers for customers. Other members of our team provide support to post-award RA staff and Business Operations Managers by filling the following roles.
Award setup
Verify award documents and establish accounts for all awards
Award changes
Review/obtain ASU internal approvals (i.e., PI approvals) and sponsor approvals for award modifications
Capital Equipment Property and Intellectual Property Patent Reports
Prepare and submit sponsor required IP Patent reports. AMT’s contact is Jennifer Noriega. Receive Capital Equipment reports from ASU Capital Assets and submit the reports to sponsors.
Fiscal reporting
Complete all sponsor required invoices and financial reports
How do we do it?
There are 30 employees plus 4 students who work together in AMT. The AMT team consists of a lead and up to 6 additional team members each with specific roles they specialize in.
How do I contact AMT?
Begin by looking at the specific award in ERA. Each AWD will display the team lead as the AMT GCO.
How long will it take to hear from AMT?
Generally, you should hear back within 48 hours of submitting your question.
What if I can’t wait 48 hours?
Contact another team member if a delay would cause a negative impact on the sponsored project .
What if I need to contact someone in a role other than the team lead?
Use the directory at the top of this page to locate the individual responsible for the action you are currently taking — whether for a new award that needs to be established, a change that needs to be made, account monitoring or fiscal reporting.
There is more than one person listed for the same role on my assigned team. Should I contact both?
No. You should contact the person for that role listed with an asterisk (*). Contacting more than one individual with the same role may lead to confusion or duplication of work.
I need something signed today and team lead and award changes officer are not available, now what?
Contact the AMT Assistant Director. Her contact information is in the directory located at the top of this page.
There was an error made by AMT, who should I contact to have it fixed?
Please contact the team lead.
Best practices when working with AMT:
- Track the status of Award Change Requests and Award Modifications using your “My Inbox” dashboard in ERA.
- Include the ERA AWD number in email communication sent to AMT.
- Complete final expenses reconciliations within 60 days of the award end date to allow time for AMT to submit the final invoice or financial report.
- We cannot invoice or report on expenses that have not been posted to the grant yet.
