That suggests that it was never intended for you personally, but more for your lab account/travel account/some other account that you can use for "nice" things at work like going to a conference or stocking up a contract for a student assistent. This means that you need to know how university accounting works, and that is an arcane art in itself. Here I cannot overemphasize the importance of friendly relations with the secretaries. | |

Whereas, it seems OP got the funds personally. If the former is typical, and the latter is unusual, could that explain the confusion here? That is, OP thought this was money they could spend on themselves, and the assumption for the grant org and university is that these funds are spent on research expenses, and that's why the institution wants the money? | |
