- Institutional Review Board (IRB)
- If you have human subjects involved in your research proposal, you will need to have IRB review your protocol. Work cannot begin until approval has occurred.
- Allow several weeks of lead-time for this process to take place, as protocols are reviewed by University committees.

- Effort Certification
- All Principal Investigators are responsible for certifying that their effort and the effort of project personnel are accurately reflected by salary amounts charged to projects.
- Any required cost-sharing (effort spent working on a grant but not charged as salary to the grant) is documented in the Effort Certification System (ECS)
- Effort certification occurs twice per year: Oct/Nov and Apr/May More info: Salary Compensation Reports
- UT’s system of internal controls is required to include processes for the after-the-fact review of personnel costs that are allocated to a project based on budget estimates to ensure compliance with Federal Regulations and sponsor requirements.
- Salary Compensation Reports will be provided three times a year, following the end of each academic semester, to provide PIs and departments another tool to review personnel costs on sponsored accounts.
