If in doubt about the eligibility of any item of expenditure on a project please refer in the first instance to the terms and conditions of the award. Further advice may be sought from the (opens in a new window)Research Finance Office.

Transfers Between Accounts

Requests to transfer items between research accounts should be submitted via email to (opens in a new window)rfo@ucd.ie detailing the accounts to be debited/credited and the justification for the transfer.  

Income for research accounts

Certain funding agencies require invoices to be raised before payment can be made. If an invoice is required please forward your request to the (opens in a new window)Research Finance Office. Schools/Units should not issue their own invoices. 

Contract extension

If additional income for a project is granted please contact the (opens in a new window)Grant Registration Team. 

Closing a research account

Once a research project has been completed, all reporting requirements met and all funding received then the relevant research account should be closed. The (opens in a new window)Research Finance Office will contact the Principal Investigator when closing an account. Researchers otherwise seeking to close a research account should contact this office for assistance.
