By entering into collaboration with us, our colleagues agree to:
- Fund the work directly, or to write grants in full collaboration with us to support the work. Collaborators must provide us with a full copy of any submitted grants, including budgets.
- Immediately notify us of award details on announcement of the decision of any funding agency.
- Co-authorship of all publications arising from the work, or when it is more appropriate, acknowledgement of our involvement.
- Provide a copy of (or full citation details) of any publications or presentations arising from the collaboration.
- Payment of all charges associated with the work.
Record Keeping Requirements and Letters of Support
We are frequently asked to provide letters in support of grant proposals
or to provide text that can be incorporated into grants. We are happy
to assist, but we require sufficient time to assess whether we will
be able to participate in any proposal. Requests must therefore be made
at least 1 week before you require the letter from us. Please include
an outline of the proposal and the experimental section so that we can
assess our role in the work, and the portion of the budget pertaining
to our participation. We realize that such information will typically
be in draft form prior to submission. After the grant has been submitted,
we require a copy of the final experimental section and the budget as
it was submitted to the granting agency. We are required by the university
and the federal government to keep accurate records of all such commitments.
Collaborators should realize that our participation in a grant obligates
them to promptly provide this information for our files.
