The Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) has made a revision to Operating Standard 500.12 – Consultants. The purpose of this operating standard is to ensure that independent contractors conduct their portions of research projects in compliance with applicable regulations and their expenses are reasonable and allowable.
Revision Highlights:
- Executed agreement is no longer required between Dept and Consultant
- Consultant invoices no longer require Principal Investigator (P.I.) signature prior to submission for reimbursement
