• Workshop Opportunities: If you would like to attend a grant-related workshop on the Indianapolis or Bloomington campus, the Office of Research will pay for your travel. Check out what is available at http://www.iupui.edu/~resgrad/spon/workshopcontent.htm If there is enough interest in any specific topic we can arrange to have their presenters come to IUSB.

02-11 NSF Cost Share Policy In accordance with Federal requirements, NSF requires that each grantee share in the cost of research projects resulting from unsolicited proposals (proposals that are submitted to NSF, but not as a result of a direct solicitation from the NSF).  According to the NSF Grants Policy Manual, the grantee will meet the statutory requirement by cost sharing a minimum of one percent on the total costs of all NSF-supported projects requiring cost sharing. (Generally, IU has met this requirement by cost sharing the effort of the Project Director).

02-10 Fiscal Officer Policy The rationale for the revised Policy I-1 is to “define the role of Fiscal Officer, Account Manager, and Account Supervisor in order to establish a process to ensure fiscal control, accountability, and integrity for university accounts.”  The new duties and responsibilities of the Account Manager are to “ensure that funds are being spent according to a budgeted plan and that the allocation of expenditures is appropriate to the function identified for the account.”

02-9 Project Director Eligibility The project director generally is a tenured or tenure-track faculty member of the University but may be any individual who is personally and professionally qualified to conduct the project as determined by the dean or director of the submitting unit.  The project director must be an employee of the university during the project period.
