Award contains provisions for intellectual property rights. Award restricts or monitors publications or use of results. Award payments are contingent upon programmatic or fiscal reporting.
Award requires protection of sponsor and confidential information.
Award requires sponsor approval to modify the itemized budget. Funding will be used to cost share a commitment on another sponsored project, or requires cost sharing from the University. Sponsor is a federal agency. OSP and the Department of Foundation Relations will determine a project s classification when characteristics taken alone will not determine the classification. Proposal includes an itemized budget.
