Please refer to Administrative Procedures Manual 45.05 for guidelines on requesting early setup of a sponsored project. An early setup grant code and index(es) is/are established for up to 90 days and budgeted at up to 25 percent of the expected first funding increment for direct federal-grants under a Vice President for Research and Economic Development guarantee, or at the amount authorized by the department and college in the early setup request (with a departmental or college guarantee, an early setup request can be greater than the 25%). Extenuating circumstances will be considered. Any required compliance (e.g., IACUC, IRB, IBC, FCOI) protocols or approvals must be in place before an early setup will be established. Submit this form to postaward@uidaho.edu after completion.
Attach the funding breakdown page for each index to provide a breakdown of funds for each. If you only need one index and want 25% of each category, no breakdown is needed.
