Research Policies and Procedures
The Office of Grants and Contracts is solely responsible
for business policies and procedures for sponsored research, including
those designed to meet the requirements of grants and contracts.
The Director of OGC is the contracting officer of the University
and is directly responsible for the negotiation and interpretation
of funded research contracts and grants, including basic agreements,
and for negotiating the reimbursement of indirect costs and employee
benefits. All University research grants and contracts shall be
processed and administered through OGC. On no account should a Faculty
Member accept direct payments or negotiate a contract on behalf
of the University.
This section provides a number of Research
Policies that must be adhered to by faculty members and administrative
staff when preparing proposals and when administering grant awards.
This section also features the Office
of Grants and Grants' Procedural Manual which describes general
research considerations, the responsibilities of the University
and its faculty, and procedures and guidelines related to pre-award
(proposal evaluation and submission) and post-award (project administration)
functions.
