What's New This Year?

PI or Co-Investigator salary support is not an allowable cost for BSFP, MPSFP, or SSFP. Grant guidelines have been revised to encourage and promote more timely applications for external grants. Conflict of interest guidelines have been revised to allow more researchers at the University to assist with the review of internal funding initiatives. Importantly, an applicant’s departmental colleagues are no longer automatically ineligible to review the proposal.

New Conflict of Interest Policy
