设立奖项

In order for the Principal Investigator to begin spending a sponsored award, steps must be taken to set up the fund. This section covers the 裁决通知, including SPA review of terms & 条件下,格兰特 & contract negotiation, budget, award fund setup, 和 new award briefing.

裁决通知

裁决通知书, which is also referred to as a notice, 诺亚, sponsor notice or award letter, is notification from a sponsor indicating that a proposal has been funded. 诺亚s are typically received by the 研究处 和 赞助项目, but the PI may occasionally be notified directly. The award notification may require the signature of an authorized University official. Notices should be forwarded to 赞助项目 Administration (SPA) for review 和 processing.

  • SPA条款审查 & 条件

    Before accepting an award on behalf of the University, SPA reviews all terms 和 conditions, regardless of the sponsor, 和 is responsible for negotiating appropriate remedies if an award fits one of the following categories:

    • It contains provisions that are incompatible with University policy on sponsored 项目
    • It is inconsistent with government-wide regulations for universities
    • It fails to include all elements agreed upon prior to the award
    • It requires scope of work or budget modification

    In case of non-st和ard patent, copyright or licensing terms, Technology Transfer must approve the award terms, which will be coordinated through SPA. Additional reviews may be required by University Counsel.

     

  • 格兰特 & 合同谈判

    SPA is the responsible unit within the University for negotiating terms with external sponsors. Sponsored project awards are generally awarded to the institution, not to the individual responsible for the technical aspects of the project. Some level of grant 和 contract negotiation may be required to determine:

    • The related scope of work
    • The period of performance
    • The amount of funding to be provided
    • The terms 和 conditions that will govern the sponsored project

    Most routine negotiations are h和led quickly. The Principal Investigator is involved during all stages of this process.

    The University’s goals for mutually beneficial sponsored program agreements require negotiation of an award that:

    • Supports a successful project
    • 最大限度地减少风险
    • Protects University 和 PI interests
  • 新奖项简介会

    Once an award has been approved 和 processed, your SPA GCA will connect with you, your Department Administrator, 和 Business Officer to set up a 新奖项简介会. This briefing will discuss all special terms 和 conditions of the award 和 who has the responsibility to complete each item. For PIs that receive Federal funding, new award briefing are required.
