For non-university sources of NEW leverage (i.e. not existing contract/grant funds), the attached sample memo can be used as a template for the documentation required from the organization providing the leverage. Figures for the letter are to be included in the budget.
Human Subjects / IRB Decision Charts
http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/guidance/decisioncharts.htm
For projects with a research component, PIs are required to review these charts to determine whether an IRB application for human subjects is required for the project. Note that if an IRB application is needed, project funds cannot be released until the IRB approves your protocol and a copy of the approval and protocol are received in the UTCM office. For help in completing the HHS decision charts, contact the TAMU Office of Research Compliance (the "IRB Office") or Sue Chrysler.
