Re: Institutional Grant Policies

[Patricia Spiegel]

I never heard of such a thing!  It sounds as if the institution is either 
terrified that someone is going to do something embarrassing (and doesn't 
trust its faculty) or that it wants to discourage grant-seeking (a peculiar 
reason, if true, because external grants bring a great deal to the 
institution's table.)  I would also note that NIH no longer requires 
grant-seekers to get its own IRB approval until the grant is approved. 
However, my last point could be a clue.  Your institution may not want such 
a surprise.  I would want to know the reasoning behind this odd policy.

Subject: Institutional Grant Policies

Our institution is in the process of developing an internal review
process for any and all grants (federal, research, private, foundation,
development, etc.). As it currently stands, our administration wants
faculty to complete a 3 page document including abstract, preliminary
budget, and signatures from at least 4 different administrators. On top
of that, one must consult with a variety of different offices across
campus to complete the form in many cases. All of this is just for
"Concept Approval". The entire process must be repeated for "Final
Approval" at which time the grant must be written and a detailed budget
included. The impression I have is that the administration can refuse to
allow one to submit a/any grant for a wide variety of reasons after it
has already been written.
Do any of you have formalized policies in place that
regulate/govern/control grant writing and grant submission activities at
your institutions?
Thanks for your responses.
