College of Medicine Research

Information Needed to Initiate IAF Routing
Per UK policy, an eIAF (Instructions here) and COI (Research Financial Interest Disclosure Statement) are to be fully routed and signed prior to proposal submission to an external funding agency. The eIAF is electronic and the COI is paper. A fully complete application is not required to initiate IAF routing. The final application is preferred by your CGO six business days prior to the sponsor deadline to meet the UK deadline. The following items must be included with any IAF submitted through the College Grant Officers to the College of Medicine Dean’s Office for signature:

Project title.
Project summary/abstract.
Detailed budget – sufficiently detailed to calculate F&A.
Budget justification.
Key personnel.
Sponsor (and program type if not a ‘typical’ sponsor).

Enrichment fund distribution for multiple eligible units.
Cost Sharing
Calculation
Explanation of cost sharing
Funding source identification
F&A guidelines of sponsor if less than full UK rate.
Explanation of requests for additional space, use of non University facilities, alterations or renovations, faculty or staff overload, outside consultants, equipment.
Fixed-price agreement budget.
Copy of contract.

Please communicate with your CGO following proposal submission to ensure a complete copy of the final proposal has been made a part of OSPA’s records.

Enrichment
New for Fiscal Year 2010 -- For sponsored projects active on or after July 1, 2009 (i.e., FY2010), the Office of the Vice President for Research is implementing a revised approach for returning a portion of the realized facilities and administrative (F&A) cost income to the departments, centers and institutes that generated it. The goal of this Research Enrichment Program is to ensure a more equitable distribution of F&A income and to support the university’s strategic objective of facilitating interdisciplinary research and collaborative scholarship.

Within the College of Medicine, only those Departments or Centers that were approved for participation in the previous incentive/enhancement arrangement will be included in the revised process. To facilitate participation, a new form has been developed to assist in determining an appropriate distribution/allocation of these enrichment funds. This form should be completed and attached to any IAF that includes distribution of enrichment funds to more than one unit. The form can be found at this link: http://www.mc.uky.edu/medicine/COM Enrichment Program Worksheet 2-15-10.xls (requires Excel to view)

Bridge Funding Guidelines
The purpose of bridge funding is to assist faculty that have been previously supported by extramural funding and have submitted an application that has been declined, but that has a reasonable chance of being revised to be funded. Open this document for additional details.
