Externally Sponsored Research Agreements

1. Is externally sponsored research activity being conducted in the department? If yes, consider the following:
   • All money from external sources must be evaluated for appropriateness to include in "R" projects. Specific rules apply to what can and can not be allowed as "gifts". The Office of Research and Creative Activities (ORCA) makes that determination, not the professor. Questions about externally sponsored research can be directed to Gary Reynolds, A-261 ASB, at 422-6177.
   • All money from federal government sources must be setup and expended in an "R" project. These funds are subject to strict government requirements as well as audit and can not be accounted for in "gift" or "donor" accounts.
   • The Associate Academic Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies, Gary Hooper, is the only person authorized to sign "research agreements" for the University with outside providers of funds. He can be reached at 384 ASB, at 422-6028.
