Research Resources

Institutional Review Board: CU-IRB reviews all research involving human subjects to ensure that study participants’ rights and welfare are protected, risk is minimized, and informed consent is given.

Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and Institutional Biosafety Committee: CU-IACUC and CU-IBC ensure that non-human animal and DNA research activities comply with research standards.

InfoReady: ORSP administers internal competitions through InfoReady. Competitions include research and scholarship grants, faculty publication funding, and external limited submissions.

Undergraduate Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activities: ORSP administers the URSCA program each summer, which pays student workers to pursue a substantial research question, contribute to a scholarly endeavor, or produce an artistic work under faculty mentorship.

 

ORSP contracts with the IUP-RI for all external pre-award grant processes, including budgeting, approvals, and submission to the funding agency. 

As soon as you identify an external funding opportunity, fill out and submit an IUP-RI Notice of Intent Form to begin CU's required pre-award process. Partial information is acceptable for submitting the form; please place "N/A" or "TBD" where you are unsure of the answer. 

Accounting Services: CU's grant accountants are responsible for post-award grant administration, including accounting, expenditure analysis, approvals, and financial reporting. More information can be on the Accounting Services website.
