The process for approving invoices from subrecipient organizations on MIT research projects has been streamlined to reduce payment turnaround time.
Beginning Monday, September 15th, invoices approved at the DLCI level by the PI will move directly to accounts payable for issuance of payment, without an additional review by RAS.
This update eliminates an additional layer/checkpoint which has the potential to cause delay. DLCI administrators should continue to review all relevant invoice detail and documentation and obtain PI approval.
More information on invoice review, including a sample invoice with checklist [DOCX], is available on Managing Subawards. The Subawards team will be available to answer questions during the first 30 minutes of the Monday Community Drop-In Sessions on September 15th and September 22nd.
General questions may be referred to subawards@mit.edu.
RAS is grateful for the diligence of DLCI administrators which enables us to update this routing process, significantly improving MIT's response time to our collaborators.
