CERTIFICATION FOR DIRECT COSTS

To assure that expenditures for sponsored agreements are proper and in accordance with the agreement documents and approved project budgets, the annual and/or final fiscal reports or vouchers requesting payment under the agreements will include a certification, signed by an authorized official of the university, which reads essentially as follows: "I CERTIFY THAT ALL EXPENDITURES REPORTED (OR PAYMENT REQUESTED) ARE FOR APPROPRIATE PURPOSES AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE APPLICATION AND AWARD DOCUMENTS."
