Project Close-Out Record Keeping
Projects will be considered completed or "closed out" after the all reports as required by the terms and condition of the award have been received and approved by the Sponsor, and notifies Stanford of its acceptance and closure of the project.
Project records, both scientific and administrative, need to be retained for specified periods after close-out. The retention period for all records is normally three years and can be audited at any time during this period.
