If you are planning a proposal that will include any of these activities or that may contain other potentially hazardous biosafety concerns, I would encourage you to contact RSP early in the planning process so that potential compliance issues do not result in delayed internal authorization at deadline time. You may also contact Jarrell Hagan, Environmental Health and Safety, at x4131 for additional information concerning your biosafety concerns and for help in determining appropriate review for your research activities. Wright State University continues to obtain a high level of external funding for research and other sponsored programs. Many of these projects are continuations of existing programs and many are new projects. It is important for all investigators to be knowledgeable of their sponsor's guidelines.
Some sponsors have very specific guidelines for spending funds.
For example, many do not allow equipment purchases without prior approval or they do not permit rebudgeting funds from one category to another. After your award is received, RSP staff review its terms and conditions. When possible, we will note any unusual or notable requirements on the bottom of the project administrative summary. We will be happy to clarify these requirements at any point during your project.
