Sponsored Receivables Management

Sponsored Receivables Management (SRM) provides support for cash and receivables management for sponsored projects with the focus of maintaining a steady cash flow for the University.  SRM processes interim invoices, draws against letters-of credit, applies payments and receipts and pursues collections for sponsored project awards, clinical trials, Academic Service Centers and Program Income.

SRM works closely with various partner groups both on and off-campus to ensure the overall effective coordination of research management services, systems, policies and processes.  SRM is also responsible for quarterly analysis of balances and activity related to sponsored receivables, billings, and collections in accordance with Stanford’s policies and procedures, GAAP, and federal regulations.

Clinical Research Invoicing System for Participants (CRISP)

CRISP is a system that supports the tracking of patient events and is currently the invoicing process for industry sponsored clinical trials only. This is an auditable system that tracks clinical trial events and is used by both the department Financial Specialist and Study Coordinators along with SRM personnel. Invoices are to be processed through CRISP prior to SRM receiving the payment. This is for both invoiceable items and patient care costs processed through Case Report Forms (CRFs).
