Policy:
INST is responsible for ensuring that all internally funded projects follow MSU compliance procedures. All projects must be routed through INST rather than Sponsored Programs Administration (SPA) and funding will not be released without proper compliance documentation.

Procedure:

1. The Principle Investigator (PI) for any INST-funded project must submit the following documents to the INST Business Manager in order to receive funding:

a. Internal approval sheet
b. Project summary, description, and justification
c. Investigators' vitae
d. Current and pending grant support
e. List of external proposal reviewers
f. Budget
g. Copy of the compliance application and approval (the original application is submitted to the MSU Office for Regulatory Compliance).

2. Copies of all modifications, renewals, and adverse event reports relevant to the project must be submitted to the Assistant Director.
