GUR Understandings

UNDERSTANDINGS CONCERNING GENERAL UNIVERSITY RESEARCH (GUR) GRANTS

Recommendations for GUR research grants are made with the following understandings. Acceptance of the award includes acceptance of these understandings.

  1. Grants are awarded to faculty members of the university. Acceptance signifies intent to continue at the university for the duration of the grant

  2. The University exercises no direction or supervision over the details of the research or activities to be performed, but it does require adherence to the original objectives and purposes of the grant. It also requires that a report of the project be submitted to the Research Office (research-gur@udel.edu) no later than ninety (90) days after the end date of the grant. A format for reports on "Template - GUR Final Report" may be found here. Each grantee is rquired to furnish one copy of any resulting papers, books or other publications to the University Library, through the Research Committee.

  3. Every publication directly resulting from a grant must include an acknowledgment stating that the research or creative activity was carried out with the support of "University of Delaware General University Research" fund.

  4. Unless arrangements to the contrary have been included in the proposal as accepted, financial income derived from the project will be returned to the University as program income. This is not meant to conflict with university policies on patents, copyrights, and publications.

  5. It is expected that a recipient will devote a large part of the summer period to the purpose of the grant and that no other substantial effort, such as full-time teaching or sponsored research, will be undertaken during the summer period.
