Please follow the guidelines below to register a project with the BRIDGE Center:
- Your department submits the project registration found on the Bridge Center Website to the BRIDGE Center Office. The BRIDGE Center office will review for the necessary supporting documentation.
- The BRIDGE Center Office submits the project registration to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
- After the work is complete at CMU, the appropriate billing person at CMU sends the invoice to the department that requested the services (and that information would be on the project registration).
- The department submits the invoice by using the Other Payment Request Specialty Form in the PantherExpress System.
- Regardless of the dollar value, since the Bridge Center is a 50%/50% venture with Carnegie Mellon University and is similar to an internal Pitt core lab, a Directed or Sole Source Justification form is not necessary.
- The submission of the Other Payment Request Specialty Form creates a requisition which then routes to the appropriate department approver.
- The requisition is approved and it then routes to Payment Processing for processing and check issuance.
