M-Reports Project/Grant financial reporting allows faculty and administrators to:
- See a financial picture of all their project-based activity.
- View summary information for all projects by Principal Investigator, Project Administrator, Initial (P/G) Department, or individual project grant.
- Drill to various levels of detail for budget, revenue, expenditures, payroll/financial aid estimates, purchasing commitments, and unit-defined commitments

The following reports are in the projects folder:

Access Details
Who needs access?
Individuals responsible for a Project (or those who support them) need access to Project reports.
How do I request access?
Principal Investigator (PI), Project Director, or Project Administrator (SAPOC) for a non-sponsored project are auto-granted access. Access is also auto-granted to users with the M-Reports role ICEmployment. Note: PI and SAPOC on sponsored projects are auto-granted access to the Research tab, same reports and report functionality under a different tab.
To request access to the Financial Management Project Reports, staff need to submit an OARS request for M-Reports ProjectGrantsReports. Faculty need to submit an OARS request for M-Reports ICEmployment.
If access to only one or two projects is needed, secondary security can be assigned by the PI. Secondary security grants access to the Research tab (same reports and report functionality). See these links for directions on secondary security assigning and viewing.
- Assign Secondary Access to a Project/Grant
- View Project/Grant Information with Secondary/Proxy Access
What can users see?
If you are a non-Faculty user, or if you have the M-Reports role ICEmployment, you can search for and view other projects. If you are a Faculty user, you can view your own projects. All users with access to a project have the ability to drill down to its details, such as voucher and payroll information.
Users with an appointment in one of the job families below are considered Faculty for this purpose and are limited to only seeing projects where they are the PI or SAPOC.
