Policies
Research Policy
Effective October 1, 2020 research areas should begin charging the full cost of PPE and COVID-19 mitigation supplies to grant accounts. Due to the limited supply chain, the University will continue to purchase PPE and COVID-19 mitigation supplies in bulk that have been difficult to obtain. These supplies will continue to be available for departments to purchase for research/clinical use through the Dietrich School Stockroom (DSS) at regular DSS pricing as well as the standard delivery fee of $5.
For those areas which have grants that do not normally utilize PPE for their research, but will incur such costs due to COVID-19, the costs should be charged to operating (non-research) accounts. A process to request reimbursement for such costs from central University funds is available on the CFO Sharepoint site. Directors of Administration should consult with their Associate Dean for Research to determine the research group(s) to which this applies.
