I am happy to announce Joseph Clampitt has been hired as the newest Financial Accountant for the Office of Contract and Grant Accounting. An alum of UMBC, Joe comes to us from Parcel Delivery Express where he was a Billing and Receivables Manager.
Over the next couple weeks we will begin transitioning specific sponsors to Joe’s area of responsibility. Please be sure to check the Grant Summary Page of PeopleSoft to identify each project's assigned accountant. We will also update the OCGA website as the transition for each sponsor is complete.
Please join me in welcoming Joe to UMBC and if you are in the Admin building, stop by the OCGA suite to say hi.

Fellow Research Administrators, because of the Procurement transition from PeopleSoft to PAW Procurement System, the subrecipient invoice payment has changed. To process the invoice payments in PAW, each person, including PIs, must activate their account by entering the portal https://my.umbc.edu/go/paw-procurement. Once the account is activated, please contact the Procurement to assign you the role of the initiator or approver. The PIs are required to activate their accounts only.
