Research Administration and Finance has updated the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Guide to Sponsored Programs to reflect recommendations resulting from an recent internal audit. Updates were made to Part II, Section 2.2 Research Involving Human Subjects, Animals, and Recombinant DNA and Part IV Proposal Approval Process, to clarify that awards will not be set up until all required campus approvals are received. Please note that while this Guide contains helpful guidance, nothing within the Guide to Sponsored Programs should be interpreted as formal institute policy.  Please reach out to the Associate Director of Research Administration, Andrew Kline, with any questions related to the updated Guide.
