Gifts distinguished from Sponsored Programs Sponsored program content includes research, instruction and training, public service, fellowships, and other scholarly and creative activities conducted under the direction of NJIT faculty and staff. Sponsored program types include grants, contracts and cooperative agreements.
Funds are to be used only for activities approved in advance by the sponsor.
A time period is specified during which activities are to be conducted and completed. In contrast with sponsored programs, gifts carry only the most general restrictions. The distinction between a sponsored program and a grant is not always clear cut. It is strongly suggested that you contact OSP or University Advancement for guidance. Note that the sponsored program is a grant if any single item on the list indicates that it is a grant.
