What is a sponsored project?
A sponsored project may be thought of as a transaction in which there is a specified statement of work with a related, reciprocal transfer of something of value. A sponsored project may support University activities including but not limited to research, training, instruction, public service and construction. Any funding provided by U.S. government agencies, at the federal, state, or local level is treated as sponsored project funding. Funding from voluntary health organizations or associations, such as the American Heart Association or the American Cancer Society, is usually treated as a sponsored project. For additional information regarding the criteria in determining a sponsored project, please see http://www.research.northwestern.edu/osr/criteria.html. • Who opens object codes of expense on sponsored projects?
