Title 3339 - Miami University
Chapter 3339-15 - Human Subjects for Research
Section 3339-15-03 - Securing external support for projects in research, instruction, and public service
Universal Citation: OH Admin Code 3339-15-03
Current through all regulations passed and filed through March 18, 2024
(A) Categories of external support
(1)
The university encourages faculty, staff, and students
to pursue external support in the form of contracts, grants, cooperative
agreements and gifts. Contracts and grants are formal agreements requiring the
university to carry out a set of specific tasks. A grant is somewhat less
specific than a contract in that the specific project schedule is less detailed
and final result less certain. A cooperative agreement requires that the
university interact on a continuing basis throughout a project with an external
agent. A gift is an allocation of funds from an external source that does not
require the university to carry out a specific task. Gifts, which may be
unrestricted or restricted, may carry a general designation for use, such as
scholarships.
(2)
Proposals seeking support in the form of a contract,
grant or cooperative agreement, whether from a public or private funding
source, must be cleared through the approval process which is managed by the
office for the advancement of research and scholarship (oars). These proposals
must be submitted to the office for the advancement of research and scholarship
in sufficient time to permit appropriate internal review and also meet the
submission deadlines of external funding agencies.
(3)
All proposals
submitted by Miami university must be signed by an oars staff member who is
designated as an authorized university official. Plans to submit such proposals
to a private funding source, such as a foundation or corporation, need to be
discussed with the office for the advancement of research and scholarship well
in advance of proposal deadlines so that the solicitation efforts may be
coordinated with the office of development. Proposals or other plans for
seeking support in the form of a gift must be cleared through the office of
development.

event.

the university is clearly not involved.
(f)

proposals where such proposals are required as part of the external source's
procedures, where university approval is required, or where the preliminary
proposal is likely to evolve into a final proposal with little
change.

research monographs for which the author may receive royalties or stipends are
not considered to be sponsored programs of the university and do not require
approval by the university in the manner described
in this
rule

agreements entered into on an individual basis be reported to and approved by
the office of the provost annually as specified in "outside employment." rule
