This manual is divided into nine numbered chapters preceded by the Preface, Resource Directory, and Table of Contents. In addition, each numbered chapter contains its own table of contents for the numbered sections within that chapter. It is designed to facilitate rapid location of the information sought. This Preface serves as a sample of the format. Sections may also contain exhibits relating to the material presented in that section.
Some exhibits show samples of forms to be obtained or to be copied from the manual.
Still others contain additional information needed by the user. How to locate information To locate information, first look up the general subject in the Table of Contents. Then turn to the appropriate chapter and section. By scanning down the labels on the left of the page, you can quickly and easily locate the specific information you need. Therefore, the Sponsored Research Manual supplements, but does not replace, other UCD manuals that document policies and procedures and should be used in conjunction with them.
