Project Period and Budget Period
Project period is the total planned amount of work time. The project period is divided into budget periods (often 12 months) for budgetary/funding purposes. It is important to understand whether the terms and conditions of the award allow you to spend funds from one budget period in another budget period. Contact your Sponsored Projects Services fund accountant with any questions.
