The University has adopted an institutional oversight model for sponsored projects. This document contains descriptions of these delegations. The model evolved from analysis of the roles and responsibilities of each unit in the University that deals with sponsored funds. The roles and responsibilities analysis established ten principles that defined the foundations for the Oversight Model. To the extent possible, responsibility is maintained locally, so that decisions are made by individuals with the best information.
Oversight is always separate from the operating unit that makes the decisions.
