Corrected policy title.

This policy was updated to give the VPRI a formal role in reviewing and evaluating centers and institutes, per the request of the provost. The other principal change is to eliminate mandatory annual reporting through the Improve (formerly TracDat) database. Instead, there will be a review in the 3rd year, as well as the standard comprehensive 5th-year review.

This policy has been updated to improve the clarity of language, to change the vetting process by the chair of the committee, change a title of the approving party for an undergraduate student committee member, and modify the committee structure.

Reviewed and revised.

Reviewed and revised to include a provision reserving right of PDS director to use outside printing services.

Policy reviewed and one link added as a resource for Records information, and some minor language removed because it is no longer accurate or necessary.

This policy has been reviewed and revised to reflect university provisions and required approvals for employee gifts, awards, and prizes. All employee gifts, awards, and prizes must be in compliance with state and federal regulations including federal tax purpose treatment and de-minimis items within the Internal Revenue Service threshold as reflected in policy.

This policy has been revised to include formatting changes, clarification of researcher responsibilities, updated contact information, and information regarding audio and/or visual recordings of research animals.

Updated title and first heading, corrected policy contact job title, and fixed minor accessibility issues in document.

Policy revised to provide a sequence of events at each level of review, starting with departmental review. The new version acknowledges that some misconduct allegations, such as those related to research misconduct, sexual harassment, and discrimination, are adjudicated under the auspices of a different policy and/or process. That was always the case, but the Policy Oversight Committee wanted to provide more transparency. As unit administrators, deans, and the provost review misconduct allegations/findings, they may receive additional information from the faculty member, unit administrator, and other knowledgeable parties. The new version notes that new information must be shared with the faculty member and other decision-makers. Also, the deadline for faculty members to respond to allegations/findings of misconduct has increased from 10 to 30 days.
