All awards and proposals are credited in the Monthly Summaries report to the academic department of the primary principal investigator. The Office of Research proposal routing form asks principal investigators to indicate at the time the proposal is submitted which unit will be responsible for the conduct of the project. If that unit is a center or institute the proposal/award is included in the Centers/Institutes report that is a subset of the Monthly Summaries report. The Office of Research is doing what it can to ensure all units receive credit for the proposals/awards they submit and receive. However, it depends on the PI to properly iden- tify responsibility for the project at the time the proposal is submitted. Please notify the Office of Research at [email protected] or 631-7432 if you are aware of any proposals or awards that have not been properly credited to a center or institute.
