Important! Organisational grants have a separate reporting procedure. Each department should have an internal routine through which you are informed about which grants and how many grants are organisational grants.

Procedures for financial and scientific reporting for organisational grants in Prisma

The Swedish Research Council has recently introduced a requirement that users of the organisational account (Office for Research, Engagement and Innovation Services) must approve both scientific and financial reports for organisational grants in Prisma.

Important! Responsibility for the content of the financial and scientific reports, as well as meeting the deadline, lies with the project leader. The approval is only an administrative step. To ensure that this process runs as smoothly as possible, the following procedures apply:

• The departmental financial officer reviews the completed financial report with the project leader, selects Juliana Räsänen in the Prisma system and sends the report to her for approval via Prisma no later than five (5) working days before the deadline.
• The project leader sends an email to prisma@su.se with the following information:
  “I approve the financial report for the grant with registration number _______, project title ______.”
  This must be done no later than five (5) working days before the deadline.
  The financial officer and project leader will receive a confirmation email from Prisma within two days that the report has been approved.
• For approval of scientific reports for organisational grants in Prisma, the project leader selects Mikko Roos, Alexandra Blomkvist, or Carl Sandberg (depending on who opened the organisational grant) in the Prisma system and sends the report to them for approval via Prisma no later than five (5) working days before the deadline.
  The project leader will receive a confirmation email from Prisma within three days that the report has been approved.
