Post-Award Metrics (PAM)

February 27, 2023

Post-Award Metrics (PAM)

The Post-Award Metrics (PAM) is a customized SPA report ran monthly to quantify and provide visibility into potential financial risks for the School. SPA runs the PAMs files every ~16th of the month, therefore, departments must add their comments by the 15th of every month

Access PAM Files

Note: A new PAM file is generated every month. To avoid adding your comments to an old PAM file, we ask that you access the most current PAM file using the department PAM SharePoint links below.

       

PAM Meetings

SPA, OSP, and department staff meet quarterly to discuss the medium-to-high risk items on the Post-Award Metrics. Prior to the meetings, SPA will highlight the medium-to-high risk items that will be discussed during the meetings (see the SPA highlighting schedule on the last row of the PAM schedule listed below). We request that departments update their department comments for the highlighted items by the 15th of every month, as they will be discussed during the meetings.Laura Chau and Catalina Diaz will reach out to departments to schedule PAM meetings.

Department Comments

SPA runs the PAMs files every ~16th of the month, therefore, departments must add their comments by the 15th of every month. Since the PAMs are so complex, it takes SPA a few days to transfer the comments from the old files to the new files (that's why you'll sometimes notice that a PAM file is missing from your dept's PAM SharePoint). After SPA completes the files for the new month, you'll receive a notification email. The notification email will contain the link to the PAM file of that particular month. Important Note: To avoid adding your comments to an old PAM file, we ask that you access the most current PAM file using the department PAM links above.
