The Office of Research is excited to announce the latest addition to our suite of resources dedicated to fostering research excellence and innovation: The Research Knowledge and Support Hub. This comprehensive platform aims to streamline and enhance the research administration process, empowering our community to thrive in their endeavors.
The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) will provide funding to cover 5% of the current salary plus the applicable fringe benefits for faculty supported exclusively by external contract or grant funds to provide non-sponsor funded time for their participation in proposal development and writing.
FSU is implementing a new simplified process for calculating fringe benefits to employee salaries which will change how fringe benefits are charged to sponsored projects. This pooled fringe benefit rate process will align with common practices utilized at most universities.
REDCap is a web-based research survey and data management application that provides secure data capture. FSU offers training, consultations, assistance, and general project management for REDCap.
In research, it’s important to distinguish between a subrecipient (or subawardee) and a contractor since there are different rules and regulations that govern the relationship between the pass-through entity, which is the university issuing the subaward, and third-party entities.
It’s here – proposal submission time! You’ve worked diligently over the past few months to prepare all the required documents. You’ve reached out to your Grants Officer and had conversations with them about various items. Your budget/budget narrative are complete, you’ve entered information in RAMP, and you have prepared a rough draft of the scope of work. Now, all that’s left to do is press submit and send it to the agency, right?
