The University has two Offices that assist investigators in preparing project proposals and that are authorized to review and submit proposals: SPA and the CTO. A third Office, STV, assists investigators with non-clinical trial industry sponsored collaborations, as needed. These Offices have also been charged with ensuring that proposals, agreements and awards comply with University and sponsor policies and been generally described in Primary University Offices Involved in Sponsored Research. The following sets forth the types of proposal that each Office processes. Please note that all sponsored research proposals and agreements must be signed on behalf of the University by certain officers designated by the Trustees in the CTO (for clinical trial proposals and agreements), STV (for non-clinical trial industry sponsored agreements) or SPA (for all other proposals and agreements).
