Sponsored Projects Administration
at CSU San Marcos
It is the policy of
California State University San Marcos to restrict access to
its laboratories and other potentially hazardous areas.
Certain minors and members of the public, who are not Cal
State San Marcos students currently enrolled in laboratory
courses or who are not laboratory assistants, may be
permitted in campus facilities for scheduled events,
carefully supervised tours, and educational outreach
programs. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) restricts
the amount of radiation exposure that minors may receive,
and because there is a wide variety of chemical and
biological hazards associated with laboratory work, it is
necessary for the campus to establish guidelines for the
appropriate supervision of visitors, student employees and
volunteers in laboratories or other potentially hazardous
areas. As with all other policies affecting the use of
laboratories and/or areas of potential hazard, enforcement
of this policy is the responsibility of the supervisor or
otherwise designated campus employee of the laboratory space
or potentially hazardous area.

Guidelines on
additional employment are designed to provide a framework
within which employees may be appointed for more than full
time, and establish the total amount of employment an
individual may have with the California State University
(CSU). These guidelines cover the procedures on compensating
faculty and staff for additional employment, and the
reporting of such employment. These guidelines apply to all
faculty and staff at Cal State San Marcos or any of its
authorized auxiliary organizations and they apply to
multiple appointments compensated by the University,
regardless of the source of funding. Such employment
includes appointments at any regular CSU program or
auxiliary organization as well as appointments on more than
one campus in the CSU. Contact Academic Affairs x8820
or x4051.
Brief
description: At its option, the University will initially
incur personnel costs and obligations on behalf of non-State
General Fund programs, and will collect full reimbursement
for those costs and obligations. Costs and obligations to be
reimbursed include salaries, benefits, and accrued
non-productive time incurred on behalf of the program.
See full policy
Purpose:
These documents implement the university policy governing
the delivery of state-funded communications and marketing
resources to units of the University that are
self-supporting or are funded by other than state General
Fund revenues. See
full policy.
Controlled Substance Policy
Purpose: The purpose of this
document is to establish the procedures for the acquisition
of controlled substances. A controlled substance is a
compound requiring a DEA registration number. The Associate
Director of EH&S must approve an investigator's initial
order for a controlled substance and all orders thereafter.
In the director's absence and after an investigator's
initial approval, the director's designee (CHO or RSO) may
approve orders.
Scope: This document applies
to all individuals involved in the ordering, processing, and
delivering of controlled substances.

Purpose: Cost sharing refers
to the portion of an externally funded project that is not
borne by the sponsoring agency. Once an award is made, all
cost sharing commitments in the proposal are considered to
be mandatory, and as such represent binding obligations to
the University and the Foundation.
The practice
of the University/Foundation is to make a cost-sharing
commitment only when required by the sponsor or by the
competitive nature of the award and then to cost share only
to the extent necessary to meet the specific requirements of
the sponsored project. The cost sharing commitment must be
documented on the
Request for Cost
Sharing Approval
form, and in the proposed budget (as described on the
Sponsored Projects Approval Form),
and must be approved by the responsible University and
Foundation officials.

Fellowship Proposal Procedure
(Link to Foundation word doc)
To determine how a fellowship
should be processed, the faculty member should contact
the Foundation Office of Grants & Contracts and University
Office of Research providing information about the
fellowship.
Purpose: This document
describes the university's indirect cost revenue allocation
policy.
Purpose: These documents
implement the university policy governing the delivery of
state-funded technology services to units of the University
that are self-supporting or are funded by other than state
General Fund revenues.
See full policy
Purpose: This policy
describes the procedures to be followed when an allegation
of possible misconduct in research is received by an
institutional official. Misconduct is defined as
"fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or other practices
that seriously deviate from those that are commonly accepted
within the scientific community for proposing, conducting,
or reporting research." See full policy
Policy on Research Activities
Involving Human Subjects
Purpose: This multi-purpose
form should be used for faculty with externally funded
reimbursed time and/or overload on grants and/or employment
in Extended Studies. For overload tracking, this form is to
be submitted to Academic Affairs before the activity begins.
Research
Collection Permissions
As
required in the pursuant agreements, this posting identifies
the following individual(s) as having current and/or
recently terminated access to the Genomics Information
Retrieval Text Research Collection, and the AQUAINT
Information-Retrieval Text Research Collection: Dr. Rocio
Guillen (Computer Science).
This
policy addresses the management of sponsored projects, and
incorporates the elements of Executive Order 890. Topics
covered include grants and contracts administration (pre-
and post-award), risk management, environmental health and
safety, conflicts of interest, research misconduct, and
other applicable CSU and campus policies on research
administration. See full policy.
Protocol
for Approving Requests from CSUSM Temporary and
Non-Employees to Pursue Sponsored Projects as a Principal
Investigator
A CSUSM
temporary or non-employee may seek authorization to pursue
sponsored projects (e.g., external grants or contracts) as a
principal investigator. The current campus policy on
Sponsored Projects Administration states that:
“The
qualifications of a Principal Investigator shall include
employment by the Foundation or University. Limited
exceptions may be allowed for the appointment of Principal
Investigators who are not employees of the University or
Auxiliary, but who are officially affiliated with the
University, such as individuals with emeritus status or
visiting professors or researchers, as recommended by a dean
or director following appropriate consultation, and as
approved by the Associate Vice President for Research.”
The
current policy does not specify a consultation process for
determining the approval of requests by temporary employees
(e.g., adjunct faculty) or limited exceptions for
non-employees. The protocol on this document ensures that
an appropriate consultation process is undertaken.
