Research Regulations
Basic Page Sidebar Menu Global Support Services
The proposal process and operations procedures for global research must consider a range of factors beyond those associated with research conducted in the US. To evaluate your project and the applicable regulations, the following topics should be considered:
-
Externally sponsored projects must comply with the policies of both the University and the sponsor.
-
Foreign subcontracts may require additional approval with special terms and conditions to meet sponsor guidelines and public policy regulations. The University also requires that the collaborating institution has the internal controls to provide appropriate stewardship of grant monies and the research in general.
