Whats the difference between organized research and departmental research?
A OMB Circular A-21 defined organized research as “all research and development activities of an institution that are separately budgeted and accounted for.” It includes sponsored research, which is all “research and development activities that are sponsored by Federal and non Federal agencies and organizations”, and university research, which is “all research and development activities that are separately budgeted and accounted for by the institution under an internal application of institutional funds.” Examples of university research would be OSU’s Centers and Institutes and all of the projects funded under the Hatch Act, the McIntire-Stennis Act, and their matching components.
