Clinical Research & Trials
Clinical Trial Questions

- IMPORTANT: Selecting "Clinical Research" will populate the required questionnaires related to Clinical Trials.
- If the award type is a PI-authored Clinical Trial, the protocol should be provided/written by the PI
- Deadline Date for Internal Proposals:
- 6 months from the date the record is created: 6 months out is the numerical equivalent to “internal” and lets your contract officer know that there is no hard deadline
- Indirect Costs (IDC)
- Industry-funded clinical trials: 33% of Total Direct Costs (TDC)
- Federally funded clinical trials must use UC San Diego's federally-negotiated IDC rate
- For all other rates see the UC San Diego IDC Rate Chart
- Internal Comments: Provide details regarding the study and/or Kuali Research record
- Attachments: Upload the following, at minimum, in a single PDF document:
-
- Internal budget sheet
- Research Plan
- Complete Proposal Application
Fellowships
When completing the Kuali Research record for a fellowship proposal complete the record as you would a grant or contract with the following differences:
When Creating a Proposal
- For "Anticipated Award Type" select Fellowship
Key Personnel
- Faculty member (mentor/sponsor)will be entered as the Principal Investigator (PI) on all Fellowship Proposals.
- Proposed Fellow will be entered as a Co-Investigator (Co-I) if a Conflict of Interest disclosure is required. OR
- Faculty member (mentor/sponsor) will be entered as a Key Study Person if a Conflict of Interest is not required.
Special Review Tab
- Departments will be required to enter a COI special review line for 700U sponsors. Enter a line with status as "Pending" and your SPO analyst will update the record.
- PI Exceptions are not required for fellowships.
- Departments will be required to enter a PI Exception special review line for non-PI eligible title codes. Enter a line with status as "Pending" and your SPO analyst will update the record. This will also trigger the PI Exception Questionnaire, answer "yes" on the questionnaire.
Multi-Campus Awards (MCAs)
Outgoing MCA's are processed in the Kuali Research (KR) Subaward module. Go to Requesting MCAs for details about using KR Subaward to request Outgoing MCAs.
At the Time of Proposal
Submit the following documents to your SPO Officer.
- Statement of Work: Describe what the receiving campus will do during a specific duration defined by the awarded project.
- Itemized Budget & Justification
