Sponsored projects (including electronic submissions) need to be routed for University endorsement.
Examples of sponsored projects: - Grants (research, training, development, conferences, travel, equipment, etc.)
- Fellowships
- Contracts with National Institutes of Health, Army, the Veterans Administration Medical Center, and other parts of the Federal government
- Contracts and Memorandums of Understand with State and local governments including the Baltimore City Health Department, the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, county government offices, etc.

- Subcontracts, when a University of Maryland Principal Investigator is participating in another institution’s proposal
- Professional services agreements (e.g., in support of faculty time at a hospital or clinic)
- IPA agreements (Intergovernmental Personnel Act Assignment Agreements), JPAs (Joint Personnel Agreements with BREF)
- Renewal applications, non-competing continuation applications, and applications for supplemental funding
- Progress reports, when continued funding is contingent upon sponsor’s receipt and acceptance of the report
Office of Research and Development processes and negotiates the following agreements, but these three types of agreements do not need to be routed: - Material transfer agreements -- submit to Office of Research and Development with completed questionnaire, available on Office of Research and Development’s website

- Visiting Scientist agreements
Once a project is funded, we also review and countersign: - Requests for temporary account number

- Requests for extensions in time
- Requests for agency approval to carry funds forward from one project year to the next
- Federal fellowship appointment forms
- Special requests such as change of PI, transfers of awards (grants and contracts) or equipment from one institution to another, change in scope of work, etc.
