Financial Agreements

METRIC requires pre-approved financial agreements. This feature in our Lab Management portal facilitates PI authorization for spending of grant funds, start-up funds, or other funding sources and provides business officers at the college and departmental levels to track funds allocated to service centers for work in progress.  Please see the instructions below for creating a financial agreement.
