External and Internal Awards Expensed through Â鶹ÊÓƵ Research Institute
The Research Institute assists members of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ community when an external grant or contract is planned, proposed, submitted, or awarded.
Project development officers from the Research Institute have been designated for each college or division to serve as the single point of contact for proposals and awards.
The names, contact information, and assignments of each project development officer can be found under Research Institute Personnel.
Fiscal Management Flowchart
The fiscal management of awards for research is different for faculty and staff members and for students, and both audiences will find different processes for internal and external awards.
See a flowchart that details fiscal management of the award both for faculty and staff and for students.
Project Investigator Handbook for External Grants and Contracts
The Project Investigator Handbook for External Grants and Contracts is intended to guide you through the management of sponsored projects at Â鶹ÊÓƵ. The project investigator (PI) is also known as the project director or project leader. This handbook provides a consolidated source for information about PASSHE and Â鶹ÊÓƵ policies, state and federal regulations, Â鶹ÊÓƵ procedures, services, and general grantsmanship information.
An updated version of the Project Investigator Handbook for External Grants and Contracts is currently under development. Please direct any questions to res-osp@iup.edu.
Miscellaneous Services
Many funded projects include monies for meetings, workshops, and conferences. These offerings may require facilities, lodging, meals or refreshments, and other services that result in a well-planned event. These Â鶹ÊÓƵ offices offer assistance.
If your sponsored project falls under Scenarios One or Two, with purview of all or part falling under the Research Institute, contact your project development officer for assistance and advice on the most efficient processes.
