ORSP Standard Operating Procedures:
Other Support and Foreign Components
The Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (ORSP) has updated the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) 200.03 Reporting of Other Support. The purpose of this SOP is to describe ORSP's policy requiring the true, complete, and accurate reporting of all sources of support for a faculty member’s research and other sponsored activities. The updates reflect changes made by NIH and other sponsors to the requirements for this reporting.
ORSP has also implemented a new SOP, 200.05 Foreign Component Policy. The purpose of this SOP is to describe ORSP's policy requiring the true, complete, and accurate reporting of all Foreign Components of a sponsored project. When a foreign component exists, ORSP requires that this information be disclosed on the Proposal Approval Form (PAF) in the eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM) system and the foreign component should be properly addressed in all appropriate locations in the proposal.
