Notes:

• The Office of Research Services must receive a (i) hard copy of your application (with Department Head and/or Dean signatures if required by the funding agency)  and (ii) the completion of a Data Summary and Signature entry five(5) business days prior to the funding agency deadline.

• For researchers who are conducting research within the Hospitals (KGH, HDH, PC) or utilizing Hospital resources (e.g., space, staff, equipment) above and beyond the standard of care, approval must be obtained from the most appropriate Hospital Operational Director(s) identified within the Data Summary and Signature Sheet application prior to obtaining Department Head approval.  We strongly encourage researchers who are conducting research within the Hospitals or utilizing Hospital resources to speak with the most appropriate Hospital Operational Director(s) 2-4 weeks prior to submitting to a funding agency to ensure approvals are obtained within your Data Summary and Signature Sheet application.
