Only OSP can sign grant related contracts and agreements (speaker contracts, quotations, vendor agreements, subaward agreements, fellowships) on behalf of the university. Reach out to osp@spu.edu if you are unsure about the contract process to avoid invalidating or delaying the grant, contract, or agreement and placing yourself or others at financial risk.
