Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (ORSP) support related to externally sponsored projects

Cost-Sharing on Research Proposals

Funds are available for cost-sharing contributions for sponsored projects when this is required by the sponsor. Please refer to Cost-Sharing for further information.

Cost sharing of direct costs up to a $10,000 should be addressed by the department or school/college. Most cost-sharing requirements are met through salaries and fringe benefits provided by the applicant's unit.

Requests for University cost sharing over $10,000 should be submitted well in advance to the Vice President for Research for review. Such requests are reviewed by OVPR and ORSP on a competitive basis. See the OVPR Faculty Grants and Awards program for more information.

Personnel on sponsored projects funds

Tuition Refund for Project Personnel. The procedure for obtaining Tuition Refund support is detailed in the Standard Practice Guide (SPG) 201.69. In addition, the completed Tuition Refund Request form should be routed to Dennis Cebulski for initial approval. Upon completion of the course, the approved form should be sent to the same office along with the required documents as described in the SPG.

Applicants for such support may discuss their needs with Dennis Cebulski by phoning 764-7232. His address is Room 1010 Wolverine Tower, 3003 S. State Street, 48109-1274. E-mail him at cebulski@umich.edu.

Extended Sick Leave for Project Personnel.

Because charges related to Extended Sick Leave are not allowable expenses on sponsored activity, ORSP will cover charges related to Extended Sick for all faculty and staff who have a paid appointment on sponsored activity, excluding the Pool Account.

See the Standard Practice Guide, Section 201.11 for an explanation of the University's policy on extended sick leave.
