Approval for pre-award spending (previously known as a "temporary account") may be requested on an project where there is a very high likelihood that the award will be made. Pre-award spending means that the chartstring will be set up before we receive an award from the Sponsor. Pre-award spending is recommended so that payroll and effort for project investigators and staff will be charged to the correct Project ID.
