Policies Relating to Administration of Sponsored ProjectsCollege of Arts and Sciences Research Center
The Arts and Sciences Research Center (A&SRC) has responsibility for facilitating the submission of proposals and administration of grants and contracts awarded to faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences. The intent is to assist the Principal Investigator (PI) with preparation and administrative detail, while monitoring compliance with University, Federal, State, and other legal regulations, as well as insuring the use of good business practices. The policies discussed within have been instituted with these goals in mind. They supplement other NMSU policy manuals as referenced. Faculty are encouraged to call the A&SRC at 646-2611 with questions or requests for assistance.
PREAWARD
Principal Investigators are responsible for clearing submission of the proposal with the cognizant Department Head and A&SRC Director in the event new departmental facilities or commitments are required, and to make sure there is no conflict with the mission of the University or NMSU policies. The A&SRC Director is authorized to sign proposals on behalf of the Regents of New Mexico State University. All proposals to external sponsors must be signed by the A&SRC Director prior to submission. Assistance with proposal preparation including budget development, completion of forms, proper formatting, required certifications, etc., is available from A&SRC staff. Faculty are encouraged to contact the A&SRC Associate Director for help as soon as a proposal submission is contemplated.
Preproposals (or white papers) may be submitted for agency consideration without signature of the A&SRC Director. Because preproposals could form the basis for a formal agreement, the PI must contact the A&SRC for assistance in developing the cost estimate. It is not required that the faculty circulate a Proposal/Award Form, but faculty are encouraged to do so. A copy of the preproposal should be provided to the A&SRC. It is important that the preproposal clearly state it is not a binding document, and that the scope of work and budget are for discussion purposes only.
Requests for Proposals (RFP) or Request for Quotations (RFQ)
Responding to Requests for Proposals (RFP) or Request for Quotations (RFQ) require special consideration. These solicitations usually require specific work statements, identifiable products, and result in a contract. In addition, standard certifications must be completed. Faculty are required to work closely with the A&SRC Associate Director as soon as they contemplate responding to an RFP or RFQ. Assistance will be provided in developing required Cost/Management Proposals, as well as checking that proposed contractual provisions are acceptable to NMSU. Because some RFP/RFQs automatically become the contract document, they may only be signed by the President or his designee. The A&SRC will assist in obtaining proper signatures.
Contracting with Private Firms
Although NMSU encourages faculty to seek support from private sources, it is important that projects undertaken remain consistent with the mission of the University, while also serving the requirements of the sponsor. Careful consideration must be given to the scope of work, deliverables, and cost requirements. Because the University must carefully protect its rights regarding publication and patents, as well as financial arrangements, the PI needs to work closely with the A&SRC Associate Director and the NMSU Office of Sponsored Programs to develop an agreement that will be acceptable to both parties. It is the policy of the A&SRC to apply the current federally approved facilities and administration cost rate to proposals with private firms. It is not appropriate that NMSU charge lower facilities and administration costs to private sponsors than those provided by federal agencies. All proposals to private firms must be submitted through the A&SRC. Cost proposals will be reviewed by personnel in the A&SRC before the A&SRC Director will sign the proposal.
Faculty must complete and circulate an NMSU Proposal/Award Form to obtain administrative approval for all externally funded projects. The Proposal/Award Form is circulated internally at NMSU and records administrative approval that a proposal be submitted. A Proposal/Award Form must be circulated for each new, continuing, and renewal proposal. Failure to submit a Proposal/Award Form in a timely fashion, especially when unusual circumstances are presented, will delay the proposal submission process. Faculty are encouraged to submit the Proposal/Award Form at least two weeks prior to proposal submission. Proposals will not be transmitted unless this form is signed at minimum by the PI, Department Head, and A&SRC Director. Forms are available from the A&SRC or from the Office of Sponsored Programs.
If it is anticipated that the proposal will include a cost share contribution from NMSU, the Proposal/Award Form must clearly detail the contribution and the agreed upon source of funds. An agreement must be reached between the PI, the Department Head, and the A&SRC Director regarding this matter before the Proposal/Award Form is circulated and approved, and the proposal submitted.
Interdisciplinary research proposals require more time for preparation and coordination. Faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences should obtain clearance for the interdisciplinary project with the cooperating faculty, department head and administrative unit. Assistance in this is available from the A&SRC. It is important that responsibilities of each person are clearly understood and identified, and that costs are agreed to before submission of the formal proposal. An NMSU Proposal/Award Form must be circulated and signed by each PI, cognizant department head, and college Dean and/or Director. To expedite approval, it is suggested a budget be attached to the Proposal/Award Form that details costs of the project broken out by PI.
Projects proposing the use of human subjects, animals, radioactive materials, or involving recombinant DNA research must comply with current Federal and State regulations. Appropriate procedures to meet these requirements have been instituted at NMSU, and faculty should contact the A&SRC Associate Director if assistance is required regarding these special aspects.
All cost proposals must be reviewed by personnel in the A&SRC before the A&SRC Director will sign a proposal for submission. The costs are checked for compliance with agency regulation, appropriateness, and accuracy. Faculty should schedule an appointment with the A&SRC Associate Director for assistance in developing a budget as soon as submission of a proposal is contemplated.
Facilities and Administration Costs
Facilities and Administration Costs (formerly known as Indirect Costs) consist of costs of facilities and services available to the University as a whole and include support services such as departmental administration, purchasing, payroll, janitorial services, library expenses, depreciation, light, heat, etc. As required by the Federal government, NMSU develops a facilities and administration cost rate proposal each year based upon an analysis of such costs associated with all sponsored program activity for the prior year. The proposal is developed by the Office of the Vice President for Business Affairs and negotiated with the Defense Contract Auditing Agency, U.S. Department of the Navy, who has been assigned as the cognizant audit agency for NMSU. If needed, faculty are requested to contact the A&SRC Associate Director for more detailed information regarding the current facilities and administration cost rate.
Facilities and Administration Cost Recovery
Facilities and Administration costs returned to the College of Arts and Sciences in the form of SURF funds (State University Research Funds) support real costs of research and public service administration and items such as equipment, maintenance costs, repair, minor building modifications, travel not funded by the sponsor, new faculty start up funds, etc. When such costs are not recovered on a given project, others are unfairly burdened. Hence it is the policy of the A&SRC to recover full facilities and administration costs on all sponsored projects. In a complementary way, the A&SRC will work with the PI to ensure that all resources needed to complete the project are available. Agreements to commit a part of the recovered SURF funds must be reached by the PI, cognizant Department Head, and A&SRC Director before the proposal is submitted.
The current federally approved facilities and administration cost rate is to be applied on all projects. Any exception to this must be approved in advance by the A&SRC Director. On-campus rates are to be used for projects conducted on the main campus, in the metropolitan Las Cruces area, and at facilities or branches of NMSU. Off-campus rates may be used when the project is conducted at sites other than these. The current approved facilities and administration rate applicable to Other Sponsored Activities may be used for projects which provide a service.
If it is the policy of an agency not to provide facilities and administration costs, a copy of the policy must be provided to the A&SRC Director at the time the Proposal/Award Form is circulated.
Facilities and Administration Costs on Proposals to Agencies of the State of New Mexico
While it is the policy of the A&SRC to recover full facilities and administration costs on sponsored projects, it is felt some consideration should be given to agencies of the State of New Mexico. In recognition of the need to provide assistance as a public service to agencies of the State, the A&SRC will reduce and cost share one-half of the federally approved facilities and administration cost rate effective during the period of the applicable project. As an alternative, the current approved facilities and administration cost rate applicable to Other Sponsored Activities may be used. In the event the monies are "flow through" funds from a federal sponsor, full facilities and administration costs will be requested. Please contact the A&SRC Associate Director for assistance in this regard. A public agency for purposes of this policy means any department, agency, board, commission, institution or instrumentality of the State, county, incorporated town or city, and any other political subdivision of the state.
Facilities and Administration Costs on Proposals for Student Support
If required by the sponsoring agency, facilities and administration costs on proposals solely for the support of a student (salaries and fringe benefits) may be waived. In this case the Facilities and Administration Costs will be shown as an NMSU cost share contribution to the support.
Faculty are encouraged not to cost share any portion of their project unless specifically required by sponsor regulations. Sponsors should provide full costs related to the project. However, if cost sharing is to be included, prior approval must be obtained from the cognizant Department Head and the A&SRC Director before the proposal is submitted. Upon receipt of an award, a separate account will be established to provide an audit trail documenting that NMSU has met its obligation for cost sharing.
Matching Funds and In-Kind Contributions
If it is necessary to provide matching funds or in-kind contributions toward a project, prior approval must be obtained from the Department Head and the A&SRC Director. The source of funds must be mutually agreed upon in writing before the proposal is submitted. Upon receipt of an award, a separate account will be established to provide an audit trail documenting that NMSU has met its obligation to provide matching funds.
Negotiation with Funding Agencies
It is the policy of the College that technical aspects of a proposal are to be negotiated between the sponsor and the PI. Costs and other business concerns are to be negotiated between the A&SRC, the Office of Sponsored Programs, and the sponsor in cooperation with the PI.
When PIs are contacted by a funding agency representative to discuss costs of a proposal, faculty are requested to contact the A&SRC so that there is a firm understanding of project and College requirements. All comments should be relayed to the A&SRC Associate Director. The A&SRC will confer with the PI to make sure that the project can be completed with the resources being made available and/or to determine if a revised scope of work may be necessary.
PIs are not to pre-negotiate facilities and administration costs with funding agency representatives. Any policy restrictions relating to overhead should be obtained from the agency in writing.
If an agency requests a change in the proposed scope of work or budget prior to formal award, the PI must contact the A&SRC Associate Director for assistance. Any reduction in cost would suggest the PI consider whether the scope of work also needs to be modified. Because it is the policy of the A&SRC to recover full facilities and administration costs, a reduction of direct costs as well as related facilities and administration costs will be necessary. Revisions must be approved by the A&SRC Director prior to resubmission to the agency.
On occasion, College units such as the Digital Mapping Lab, the Instrument Lab, and the Electron Microscope Lab may have need to develop cost rates for specific facility use or service. These rates are to be established with assistance from the A&SRC and the Business Office Current Funds Accounting Division. The established rate should include full facilities and administration costs, if appropriate; and the current facilities and administration cost rate must be applied. An agreement to cost share any portion of the facilities and administration cost must be negotiated by the PI, cognizant department head, and A&SRC Director. The rates developed are to be kept in writing at the departmental level and be readily available upon request. Updated cost rates should be submitted to the A&SRC Director on a yearly basis.
Typing services are available to faculty (on a departmental overload arrangement) in the area of research and scholarly activity. Typing of proposals, manuscripts, reports, etc., may be brought to the A&SRC on an individual basis, but faculty are encouraged to coordinate their work through the department head so that overall priorities of the department can be met. Typing time will depend largely upon priority, length of the document, and complexity of typing needs. Faculty are requested to do as much advance planning of typing needs as possible.
POSTAWARD
Formal awards are entered into by the Regents of New Mexico State University who accept such awards for designated purposes. There is a shared responsibility between the faculty and the University in accepting funds and carrying out the program for which the funds are awarded. The University designates the faculty member as the PI on a project, with the responsibility to act as an agent for the University in discharging the obligations associated with an award.
Project administration may be divided into two categories--technical and fiscal. Responsibility for these aspects of a project lies with the PI, the cognizant Department Head, and the A&SRC Director. If the technical quality of a project is not acceptable to the sponsor, it is the responsibility of the PI and Department Head to resolve the difficulty as promptly as possible. Regarding fiscal matters, it is the responsibility of the PI, with assistance provided by the A&SRC, to expend funds according to agency guidelines. If the PI is unable to eliminate an overexpenditure or disallowance in a research account because of the unavailability of alternate sources of funding, the deficit will be covered from a return of SURF funds to the College. One-third of the overexpenditure or disallowance will be covered from SURF funds returned to the department and two-thirds from SURF funds returned to the A&SRC, or in proportion to any previous agreement for SURF funds return on the project. It is not appropriate that deficits be transferred to other restricted research accounts.
The Board of Regents has authorized the President or his designee (acting president) to sign awards requiring official NMSU acceptance. Award documents requiring such a signature should be forwarded to the A&SRC who will obtain the President's signature through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
Establishing a Project Account
A signed agreement with the sponsor (grant, contract, agreement or purchase order) must be received before an account is established for use by the PI. Project-related charges in agreement with agency guidelines, State regulations, and/or the Federal A21, A110 directives can be made against the account up to the amount awarded. When an award is received on campus, the A&SRC will assist in obtaining the necessary signatures for acceptance of the grant/contract and notifying the university offices involved. An account will be established by the A&SRC and the PI will be notified of the number assigned and the budget categories which have been set up. Project related expenses are to be incurred within the project period. Any obligation that remains outstanding ninety (90) days after the end of the project should be included in the final billing to the agency, unless other arrangements are made. A data sheet will be circulated to all involved listing exceptions from allowable costs, and noting when the PI must seek approval regarding budgetary deviations from the Authorized Institutional Official or the funding agency.
A fiscal technician is designated in the A&SRC as the person to work with the PI regarding the budgetary aspects of the project. All expenditures and employment forms must be processed through the A&SRC. Expenditures are checked according to agency, Federal, State, and University guidelines. If the allowability of an expenditure is questioned, it is suggested the PI contact the A&SRC fiscal technician. If the A&SRC fiscal technician questions an expenditure, they will discuss the matter with the PI. The A&SRC technician reports to each PI regarding the status of their account on a monthly basis. The report includes expenditures, encumbrances, and monies available for the project. If a report is needed more often than monthly, it can be obtained by contacting the assigned fiscal technician.
Relationship of A&SRC Bookkeeping to Business Office
The NMSU Business Office has responsibility for official reports submitted to sponsors. The records in the Business Office are those which are audited for all NMSU projects. The A&SRC coordinates closely with the Business Office to provide financial reports on College projects. Because it is the philosophy of the A&SRC to provide faculty with up-to-date financial information on projects, fiscal records are also maintained in the A&SRC. Responsibility for the accuracy of these records falls on the A&SRC technician and PI who must work closely to see that funds are expended appropriately. Faculty are responsible for contacting the A&SRC technician immediately if they need a budget revision, anticipate an over- or under-expenditure of funds, or question the appropriateness of an expenditure.
Faculty should carefully preplan expenditures in order to keep budget revisions to a minimum. If it becomes necessary to revise a budget, several factors will need to be considered, and the PI is requested to contact the A&SRC fiscal technician to discuss the appropriateness of a budget revision prior to its submittal.
If agency approval of a budget revision is required, the PI must write a letter to the agency requesting a budget revision. The letter should indicate the amount to be transferred, source to be transferred from, and include a clear and sound justification. The request should be addressed to the grant/contracts officer at the agency. The technical monitor at the agency should be informed of the request, but the grants/contracts officer is the only person who has authority to negotiate and change formally the provisions of a grant or contract. The request must be submitted through the A&SRC Director who will endorse the revision on behalf of NMSU as Authorized Institutional Official. Most agencies will not consider the request unless this signature is included. The request will be mailed from the A&SRC office to the agency after the A&SRC Director signs.
If agency approval is not required and the revision is of the type that can be approved by NMSU, the PI should initiate the request for a budget revision (a form is available from the A&SRC). A clear and sound justification must be included. The request should be submitted for endorsement by the A&SRC Director on behalf of NMSU as the Authorized Institutional Official.
A cost transfer involves a correction or reallocation of costs between two or more University accounts. If the transfer is to a research account, substantive evidence of acceptability of the cost on the new project must be considered. Another important consideration is the timeliness in which transfers are made. The A&SRC requests that cost transfers be processed within 90 days after the date of the initial charge. The A&SRC will not approve the transfer of costs after a project has terminated unless justified and approved by the A&SRC Director. In all cases, a valid justification will be required for consideration by the A&SRC Director before cost transfers will be authorized.
All invoicing is to be made by the NMSU Business Office. Departmental personnel should contact the A&SRC if there are any questions regarding invoicing.
NMSU is required to follow Sponsor regulations regarding the subcontracting of any portion of a project. In addition, agency approval for the subcontracting must be obtained prior to the subcontract being let. If subcontracting is anticipated, faculty should contact the A&SRC Associate Director who will assist in obtaining agency approval. The subcontract document will be written in cooperation with the Office of Sponsored Programs to assure that the needs of the PI, the University, and the Sponsor are met. Faculty are required to obtain a statement of work and cost estimate from the proposed subcontractor. As these will be used to form the basis of the subcontract document, they must be signed by the person who has been authorized to enter into contracts on behalf of the subcontract organization.
When an agreement has been entered into, faculty are responsible for assuring that the technical aspects of the subcontract are met. In addition, faculty will approve the appropriateness of charges billed NMSU by the subcontractor before invoices will be paid. PI initials on payment vouchers indicate such approval of the billing as well as indicating that technical aspects of the project are being met.
Contact with Granting Agencies
A PI may freely interact with Sponsors regarding technical aspects of their projects; however, the PI is encouraged to contact the A&SRC with administrative questions prior to contacting external agency personnel. Many actions such as rebudgeting, prior approvals, and similar issues may be dealt with by NMSU and not require external agency approval. However, if agency approval is necessary, the formal request must be submitted through the A&SRC in order to obtain the Director's signature noting institutional concurrence. Most agencies require this signature and will not consider the request unless it is included.
Financial Close Out Procedures
Three months prior to termination, a project is reviewed very closely by the A&SRC technician, the A&SRC Fiscal Specialist, and the A&SRC Associate Director to assure that funds are being spent out appropriately. Financial reports are provided to the PI which detail salaries, encumbrances, and funds available to complete the project. A&SRC technicians will call the PI to ascertain how remaining funds will be spent. In addition, the A&SRC technician will check outstanding invoices owed NMSU. Any problems in this respect will be immediately brought to the attention of the PI.
It is the responsibility of the PI to inform the A&SRC technician of any special cost requirements during this last period so that these costs can be taken into consideration. Additionally, PIs are reminded of the College policy that leave accrued must be taken during the life of the project as there is no mechanism to set aside funds for accrued leave taken after the end of the grant or contract. As it is important that accounts not be overexpended, the A&SRC fiscal technician will rely heavily on information from the PI as to cost requirements during the last stages of the project. The account will not be allowed to be overspent nor overcommitted.
It is the responsibility of the NMSU Business Office to provide financial reports, including the final report, to sponsoring agencies. Staff in the A&SRC work closely with the Business Office in providing necessary information.
It is the responsibility of the PI to provide prompt submission of reports and any other deliverables required by an agreement. Most sponsoring agencies withhold final payments and will not approve subsequent awards to a PI if the final report is not received. Assistance is available from the A&SRC for typing and transmitting of technical reports, including the final report, to sponsors. If a PI elects to submit a final report directly, a copy of the transmittal letter should be provided to the A&SRC. This letter will be placed in the grants/contracts file as part of the final close out process. Assistance in this final aspect of the project is available from the A&SRC.
ADMINISTRATIVE
Commitments are established for direct support of faculty or departments of the College by the A&SRC Director. Commitments are made for support of costs contained in proposals, as well as other items such as travel, equipment, maintenance, salaries, new faculty support, etc. Faculty requiring support from the A&SRC should make their request in the form of a memo addressed to the A&SRC Director through the Department Head. The memo must clearly identify the departmental contribution and provide a full explanation of need. Generally, departments will be required to share the cost of the request. When a commitment is made, costs to cover the commitment will be recovered before SURF funds are allocated to the department or the A&SRC, and will be allocated according to the policy of the A&SRC stated herein. To alleviate cash flow problems, the A&SRC may opt not to expend funds for a commitment against SURF return on a specific project, until those SURF funds have been recovered.
When it has been established that monies owed on a sponsored project cannot be recovered, one-third of the uncollectible will be covered from indirect costs returned to the department and two-thirds from indirect costs returned to the Research Center, or in proportion to any previous agreement for SURF funds return on the project.
Effective July 1, 1990, SURF funds returned to the College will be distributed as follows:
- Commitments against SURF funds will be met according to the approved agreement before further distribution of SURF funds is made to the department or A&SRC.
- Once the commitment has been met (or where there are no commitments), 1/3 of the remaining SURF funds will be distributed to the department, and 2/3 will be retained by the A&SRC.
SURF Funds Return from A&SRC to Departments
Example (without commitment)
SURF return to NMSU (100%) $10,000 Administration portion (20%)* 2,000 A&SRC portion (2/3 of $8,000) 5,333 Department (1/3 of $8,000) 2,667 *this percentage may change to accommodate increased administrative expenses.
Example (with commitment of $5,000)
SURF return to NMSU (100%)) $10,000 Administration portion (20%)* 2,000 SURF held to meet commitment 5,000 A&SRC portion (2/3 of $3,000) 2,000 Department (1/3 of $3,000) 1,000 *this percentage may change to accommodate increased administrative expenses.
-
When more than one department is involved, percentage of project costs will be identified for each participating PI and department prior to commencement of the grant/contract. This will form the basis for SURF funds distribution for the life of the project as shown in the following example:
SURF Funds Return from A&SRC to Multiple DepartmentsExample (without commitment)
SURF return to NMSU (100%) $10,000 Administration portion (20%)* 2,000 A&SRC portion (2/3 of $8,000) 5,333 Dept A-15% of Project (15% of 1/3 of $8,000) 400 Dept B-85% of Project (85% of 1/3 of $8,000) 2,267 *this percentage may change to accommodate increased administrative expenses.
Example (with commitment of $5,000)
SURF return to NMSU (100%) $10,000 Administration portion (20%)* 2,000 SURF held to meet commitment 5,000 A&SRC portion (2/3 of $3,000) 2,000 Dept A-15% of Project (15% of 1/3 of $3,000) 150 Dept B-85% of Project (85% of 1/3 of $3,000) 850 *this percentage may change to accommodate increased administrative expenses.
SURF Funds Costs for Interdisciplinary Projects
Effective July 1, 1990, SURF funds returned to the College for Interdisciplinary projects will be distributed as follows:
-
Commitments against SURF funds return will be met according to the approved agreement before further distribution of SURF is made.
-
Once the commitment has been met, remaining SURF funds will be distributed on the basis of modified total direct costs. Prior to the commencement of the grant/contract, costs will be identified for each participating PI and College. This breakout will form the basis for SURF distribution for the life of the project as shown in the following example. In some cases to ease oversight and the return of SURF funds, grants or contracts which involve more than one college will be divided and each individual college or PI assigned a budget and an account number:
SURF Funds Return from A&SRC to other CollegesExample (without commitment)**
SURF return to NMSU (100%) $10,000 Administration portion (20%)* 2,000 Other College portion (35% of $8,000) 2,800 A&SRC portion (2/3 of $5,200) 3,467 A&S Department portion (1/3 of $5,200) 1,733 *this percentage may change to accommodate increased administrative expenses.
**For purposes of these examples, project costs for Other College have been identified as 35%.Example (with commitment of $5,000)**
SURF return to NMSU (100%) $10,000 Administration portion (20%)* 2,000 SURF held to meet commitment 5,000 Other College portion (35% of $3,000) 1,050 A&SRC portion (2/3 of $1,950) 1,300 A&S Department portion (1/3 of $1,950) 650 *this percentage may change to accommodate increased administrative expenses.
**For purposes of these examples, project costs for Other College have been identified as 35%.
SURF Funds Return from other Colleges to A&SRCExample (without commitment)
SURF return to NMSU (100%) $10,000 Administration portion (20%)* 2,000 A&SRC portion (2/3 of $8,000) 5,333 A&S Department portion (1/3 of $8,000) 2,667 *this percentage may change to accommodate increased administrative expenses.
Example (with commitment of $5,000)
SURF return to NMSU (100%) $10,000 Administration portion (20%)* 2,000 SURF held to meet commitment 5,000 A&SRC portion (2/3 of $3,000) 2,000 A&S Department portion (1/3 of $3,000) 1,000 *this percentage may change to accommodate increased administrative expenses.
SURF Funds Costs for Projects Involving CRL
Effective July 1, 1990, SURF funds to the College for projects involving the Computer Research Lab (CRL) will be distributed as follows:
- PIs solely employed by CRL.
- 100% of SURF will be returned to CRL from projects involving PIs solely employed by CRL.
- 100% of SURF will be returned to CRL from projects involving PIs solely employed by CRL.
- PIs employed by CRL and Academic Departments.
- Proportions of faculty/professional costs attributable to CRL and departments will be agreed upon at the time the Proposal/Award Form is circulated. During the life of the project, this will form the basis for partition of the 100% SURF funds returned to A&SRC as shown below:
- Of the proportion attributable to CRL, 100% of SURF will be returned to CRL.
- Of the proportion attributable to the department,
- 50% will be returned to CRL
- 30% will be returned to Department
- 20% will be returned to A&SRC
