The following information has been assembled to facilitate the submission of Lawrence-KUMC collaborative research proposals.
Lawrence campus contact:

864-7781
Medical Center campus contact:
Mei-shya Chen, Director of Post Award Services,
mchen@KUMC.edu
Collaborative proposals involving only investigator salary and
fringe benefits from the non-submitting campus will have a streamlined
submission and award process. A special process is in place at
the Medical Center campus for Lawrence campus faculty and researchers
who wish to receive the investigator status required to participate
in a research projects at the Medical Center (see below). A one-page
Interagency Memorandum will be issued for awarded projects to
provide adequate documentation of this relationship.
All other collaborative proposals where more than salary will
be transferred to the collaborating partner will require a sub-award
between campuses when awarded. A one-page Interagency Sub-award
Agreement is now in place to shorten the time between the receipt
of the award and when spending on the award can begin.
Lawrence campus contact:
George Wilson, Associate Vice Provost for Research, gwilson@ku.edu,

Faculty who have PI status on the Medical Center campus automatically have PI status on the Lawrence campus. Obtaining PI status on the Medical Center campus must be preceded by obtaining a Research Courtesy appointment. Information on this process can be found at on the Courtesy Research Faculty Appointments page of the KUMC web site. A temporary appointment is available to Lawrence campus faculty who have Research Courtesy appointments. Contacts for this type of appointment vary according to the department to which a Lawrence campus researcher seeks an appointment.

To receive credit in NIH rankings for the Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing and Allied Health, please indicate one of these schools as the major subdivision in Box 3F of the NIH grant application cover page. The NIH will now give credit to the indicated school regardless of which campus submits the joint proposal.
Lawrence campus contact:
David Hann, HSC-L Coordinator, dhann@ku.edu, (785) 864-7429
Medical Center campus contact:
Sharon Grable, HSC-KUMC Manager, sgrable@KUMC.edu, (913) 588-5712
Campus reciprocity and cooperation exists between the Human Subjects Committees, or HSC, (institutional review boards) on the two campuses. Submission to a particular HSC is generally based on where the research will take place. If project work happens on both campuses, the KUMC HSC should be used. The University now works on many extra-university research collaborations in Kansas City. For combined, more complex research proposals, the KUMC HSC will take the lead. Each HSC will provide blank application forms for the committee on the other campus. To designate its location, each committee will be identified with the name of its campus, e.g. HSC-KUMC.
Lawrence campus contact:

Staff Status for Tuition
Q: Is staff status for tuition payments available for students
enrolled on one campus and employed on the other campus?
A: Yes. Complete and submit forms from the Registrar to verify
employment in order to receive staff status for tuition.
Cross Campus Employment and Visas
Q: Are problems created when an international student is enrolled
on one campus and employed on the other campus?
A: Visas are issued based on where the student is enrolled. As
long as the student is enrolled in the program where the visa
was issued, employment on the other campus has no effect on visa
status.
NIH Pre-doctoral Trainees and Enrollment Status
Q: Do NIH or other pre-doctoral trainees have to be enrolled
as degree-seeking students on the same campus where the training
grant is administered?
A: Federal grants do not require this, but currently it is required
by our institution. Currently under review is the use of the
model set forth by the Intercampus Program in Communication Disorders
where this is not required.
NIH Post-doc Trainees and Enrollment Status
Q: Do NIH or other post-doc trainees have to be enrolled in order
to receive ID cards, library and computer account access and
parking?
A: Enrollment is not a federal grant requirement for post-doc
trainees. Lawrence campus has arranged with KU-Human Resources
to provide affiliate status and access to these services once
the department initiates an Affiliate Data Sheet.
Lawrence campus contact:
:Jodi Wente, Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, 864-8841, jwente@ku.edu.
Medical Center campus contac::
Latyona Luster, Interim Director, Animal Research Protection Program, 588-5492, lluster@kumc.edu.
Campus reciprocity and cooperation exists between the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs) on the two campuses. Submission of an animal protocol for approval is generally based on where the animal research and housing will take place. In the event that animals will be used or housed at both campuses’ facilities, review and approval of the same protocol is required by both campuses’ IACUCs. Each IACUC will be responsible only for the work conducted on its campus. A Memorandum of Agreement is in place for collaborative animal research between campuses. Prior to initiation of animal research, a checklist must be completed and signed by both the Lawrence Animal Care Unit Director and the KUMC Director of the Division of Laboratory Animal Resources.
