Frequently Asked Questions
|
Please note: In order to process your proposal for external funding, Research & Sponsored Programs requires your submissions three working days prior to the deadline.
How do I get started?
Contact your college research
coordinator or call Research and Sponsored Programs.
How do I obtain a proposal
review form?
These forms are available from Research and Sponsored Programs,
the RSP Website, and through departmental/school offices.

Rodney L. Custer, Associate Vice President for Research.

Where can I get help with the budget portion of my proposal?
The grants
accountants should be consulted during the budget preparation
process. Information about direct cost and fringe benefits rates
can be found in the General
Data Information Sheet.
Who is responsible for negotiating or initiating an agreement
if a project is funded?
Often the funding source will initiate the agreement; many times
the University will. In all cases, RSP has been designated to
prepare/review, and negotiate all grants and contracts for externally
sponsored projects.
What happens after the University receives a full executed agreement?
The project director is asked to sign an internal agreement
to comply with the terms and conditions of the external agreement
and follow University policies and procedures. After RSP receives
this signed agreement, an account is opened and the PI may access
funds. It is at this time that other university offices and
officials are notified of the award.
How long will it take for my IRB protocol to be processed?
There are three
levels of review for IRB protocols. For protocols classified
as exempt, three to five days. For protocols classified as expedited,
two to three weeks. For protocols classified as full, four to
six weeks. For additional information, check out the IRB
Review Process flowchart.
Do students need institutional approval if using animals
or human subjects in their research?
Yes, students must get approval from the IACUC if using animals
in their research or from the IRB if using human subjects.
Where can I get IRB or
IACUC forms?
Both forms may be obtained from the RSP office (HOV 310) or
from this website by clicking on the links above. |
