| Business and Industry clinical
trial agreements--PRF procedure |
Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA) has
a new expedited procedure for processing Business and Industry Clinical
Trial agreements. This change addresses the needs of both the Academic
Health Center and SPA and reduces the time needed to process these
contracts
|
| |
Summary
of procedure
- Submission of initial documents to SPA. The principal
investigator (PI) uses an expedited
procedure to complete and sign a Proposal Routing Form (PRF).
The PI delivers a hard copy of the PRF, the contract, the protocol,
and a simple budget to SPA.
Note: If work begins and expenses are incurred before the contract
is fully negotiated and signed, the PI must complete a Preaward/Advance
Account Request Form, HAVE IT SIGNED BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD, and deliver it to SPA for account setup.
- Review of the contract by SPA.
Note: SPA will work with the sponsor to finalize acceptable language
in the contract.
- Submission of documents to SPA after negotiation is completed.
Once the PI completes negotiation on the protocol, finalizes budgets,
etc., he or she re-routes the PRF (see the
expedited procedure), along with the finalized protocol, budget,
and contract (if it has changed from one originally sent to SPA),
to his or her department and college for review/approval. After
all the signatures are collected, the PI delivers hard copies
of all these documents to SPA.
- Final review and processing of the contract by SPA.
Note: SPA will not approve the contract until it receives the
fully signed PRF, finalized budgets, protocol, and, if relevant,
updated contract from the PI.
