Direct UNC to strengthen the administrative and management policies and procedures in place related to establishing agreements with, and making payments to, contractors and consultants. Updated procedures could include: a. Implementing a control to prevent UNC from entering into contracts to support grant-related research without first submitting all required forms and performing all necessary suspension/debarment checks. b. Updating its procedures to ensure that it cannot approve contractor/consultant invoices until the PI has physically documented their approval.
