Under Construction

THIS IS A TEST PAGE FOR A NEW GENIALY INTERACTIVE GRAPHIC

NIH and other federal agencies have recently implemented more expansive requirements for disclosing other support and foreign affiliations.  These instructions have increased what U-M previously reported - to include agreements outside U-M, in-kind contributions, and copies of agreements with entities outside the US.  The revised Other Support format also includes a new attestation statement and the requirement for digital signature. We know that this causes confusion, and perhaps apprehension, among faculty as we learn to navigate these new requirements and share the information with federal agencies.  The Medical School has developed tools and resources to supplement campus information to directly aid faculty and staff in remaining compliant.                                     

If you have questions about content or how these rules impact your reporting to U-M or NIH, we encourage you to use the resources below or reach out with your questions to: Other.Support.Questions@umich.edu
