Medical School Policy on Establishing Sub-Accounts
New Policy
Effective March 1, 2002
(For Proposals effective after this date)
This policy describes the threshold over which the establishment
of sub-accounts is expected for inter-unit research projects at
the Medical School. This policy formalizes existing practice within
the School and conforms to the usual expectations for research projects
between Schools and Colleges. The purpose of sub-accounts is to
allocate funds, including facility and administrative (F&A)
recoveries, to the appropriate academic department/research unit.
Definitions
· Primary Unit - the home department/unit of the Principal
Investigator.
· Secondary Unit - departments/units of the co-investigators.
Guidelines
The minimum faculty effort for which a sub-account is required,
when requested, is 5%.
· Secondary units may request a sub-account for effort less
than 5%, but the primary unit is not obligated to agree to set up
the sub-account.
· Conversely, secondary units are not obligated to accept
sub-accounts from the primary unit if their effort is less than
5%.
For proposals with significant non-faculty expenses on a grant in
a secondary unit, but with less than 5% faculty effort, a sub-account
is a reasonable expectation if the project will use the secondary
unit's facilities or administrative resources.
