Cash Management
The ASRSP Cash Management team supports consistent cash flow for 花季视频’s sponsored research activity by receiving and applying payments, processing rebates, and pursuing collection of debts.
Sponsor Payment Methods
Sponsors disburse funding to 花季视频 through three main mechanisms.
Letter of credit (LOC): Most federal agencies authorize 花季视频 to draw down funds via a letter of credit on a cost reimbursement basis. Funds can be drawn as many as 90 days (in some cases 120 days) beyond the award end date, but draws are rejected thereafter.
Electronic fund transfer (EFT): Sponsors can send funds electronically, either through an ACH or wire. An electronic fund transfer requires additional information to identify the award to which it applies.
Check: Sponsors can also send checks directly to the ASRSP Cash team. If a check is received by the principal investigator or department, it should be transferred immediately to ASRSP.

Current Unapplied Payments
The Cash team conducts periodic review of unapplied payments. Payments remain unapplied when their corresponding project cannot be determined due to insufficient information from the sponsor when payment is submitted to the University. A spreadsheet containing unapplied payments is prepared for campus review and assistance with identifying payments. Please email ASRSP-cash@northwestern.edu immediately with information that can be used matched with payments.
