The UC ANR Aggie Enterprise Team is pleased to provide the following update on Contracts & Grants (C&G) Awards and Billings, after consulting and engaging with UC Davis Contracts and Grants Accounting:

1. Awards Update:
   There are currently 44 award-related transactions (including new awards, amendments, and advance accounts) pending entry into the system. UC Davis Contracts and Grants Accounting will provide weekly updates, which will offer better visibility into the status and progress of these transactions.
2. Unbilled Invoices:
   The UC Davis Contracts and Grants Accounting (CGA) team is actively addressing a backlog of unprocessed/unbilled invoices from both campus and UC ANR awards. Although we do not yet have a detailed breakdown of UCD vs. ANR invoices, we are working closely with the CGA team to obtain this information to better monitor the progress of UC ANR's invoices. Additionally, UCD has partnered with Deloitte to resolve the invoicing issues and streamline the process moving forward. To support these efforts, the UCD Pre-Bill Cost Reimbursable Report is being enhanced, and, if available, we will provide further details in our next update.
3. Escalation Process:
   The ANR team is finalizing a formal escalation process to efficiently address billing inquiries. This process will be shared with account managers (associate directors, county directors and office managers). This process will help guide how to escalate issues for prioritization and timely resolution with UCD. In the meantime, if you have any C&G billing inquiries, please contact your account manager.

Thank you for your continued collaboration.

Best regards,
UC ANR Aggie Enterprise Team
