 Key personnel who have responsibilities like that of a PI on research projects.  While the PI has ultimate responsibility for the conduct of a research project, the Co-PI/Co-I is also obligated to ensure the project is conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and institutional policy governing the conduct of sponsored research.

Depreciation is the loss in value that naturally occurs as an object is used or ages. The total depreciated value of an item is the value of that item once you take depreciation into consideration.

A cooperative initiative among 10 federal agencies and 154 institutional recipients of federal funds for Phase VI. The FDP is a program convened by the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable of the National Academies. Its purpose is to reduce the administrative burdens associated with research grants and contracts. The interaction between FDP鈥檚 450 or so university and federal representatives takes place in FDP鈥檚 3 annual meetings and, more extensively, in the many collaborative working groups and task forces that meet often by conference calls in order to develop specific work products.

Key personnel are those people who are essential to carrying out the work of a project, typically those responsible for the design, conduct and reporting of the research. Key personnel include PIs, Co-PIs, and a third category known as 鈥淜ey Persons鈥�.  PI and any Co-PIs for a project, as well as fellows on any Fellowship proposal, are considered Key personnel. PIs are discouraged from listing other people as Key Persons at proposal stage due to the increased administrative burdens imposed by the sponsor and the additional audit risk to OHIO. Sponsor requirements for tracking key people vary widely. Most federal sponsors require that we track effort for key personnel and notify sponsors when there is a significant reduction in effort (25% or more) or when one of the key people leave the project. Several federal and foundation sponsors require that key personnel keep current on conflict of interest disclosures of financial interest and conflict of interest training. PIs are responsible for tracking effort for key personnel and notifying the sponsor of significant changes. Such requests should be sent in writing to ORSP for review and approval before they are submitted to the sponsor.

Professional services refers to occupations requiring special training in the arts or sciences. Professional services are often intellectual in nature, and they may or may not require the person to have a license in their specialty. Some professional services may require holding professional licenses such as architects, accountants, engineers, doctors and lawyers. Professional services are generally unique in nature, highly technical, or infrequently needed, provided by an individual or commercial entity with specific qualifications, which could include education, years of experience, and technical capability. Services of this nature are usually project-based, rather than continuous. The work performed is fee based on an hourly or daily rate, provided and explained in a rate proposal or quote, which includes all expenses (travel, supplies, etc.). The individual or entity is not subject to flow-down of compliance requirements from a federal prime contract, including cost sharing. The services provided are on a 鈥渨ork for hire鈥� basis and provider assigns all intellectual property or copyrightable rights to the recipient. An individual pays their own taxes on earnings from the project and is not an employee of OHIO. Here are some examples of professional services: project or program evaluation, technical training, translation services, laboratory analysis, auditing, statistical or data analysis, marketing analysis, software development services, web design or development services, writing or editing services.

Restricted Funds category includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation. Revenue from external sponsors through grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts that specify the use of funds, period of performance, and scope of work are considered restricted funds. Revenue from external sources that do not specify the use of funds, period of performance, and scope of work are not restricted and therefore not considered sponsored activity.

Special purpose equipment means equipment which is used only for research, medical, scientific, or other technical activities. Examples of special purpose equipment include microscopes, x-ray machines, surgical instruments, and spectrometers (2 CFR 搂200.89).

Sponsored Projects are externally funded activities in which a formal written agreement, i.e., a grant, contract, or cooperative agreement, is entered into by OHIO and by the sponsor.
