Preparing Industry Proposals and Budgets
Scott Davis, CRAAssociate Director

• Research Type– Industry funded research
• Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, etc.
– Private funded research• American Heart, Komen, etc.
– No direct Federal Funding
• Workflow– PI identifies funding– PI prepares the proposal/SOW– RESEARCH OFFICE REVIEWS PROPOSAL– Award – Award reporting and close-out
• Problematic Areas– Cost share– Reduced or no F&A– Non-negotiable terms– One application per Institution– CDA
• Instructions– Guidelines– Budget– IDC– Same Information / Different Forms
• Different from NIH
• Read and Follow All Application Instructions!
• Review Process– What’s Needed
• Required Institutional Paperwork• Copy of Guidelines• Statement of Work (SOW)• Budget• Research Agreement
– Review guidelines
• Required Institutional Paperwork– Routing form– Cost Share Approval– COI forms– IDC Exceptions– IACUC/IRB
• Statement of Work (SOW)– Formal document that defines:
• Work Activities• Deliverables• Timeline must execute in performance of specified
work for a client.
– Includes:• Requirements• Pricing• Regulatory and governance terms and conditions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statement_of_work
• SOW Components– Description of work being performed– Location– Period of performance– Publication– Scientific input– Invention– Budget
• SOW Bad Example– I will be reviewing square pieces of glass
containing some goo. I will report to the guy in charge of the results.
• SOW Good Example– EGG NOG expert pathology reviewers are assigned to
active EGG NOG study protocols for confirming institutional diagnoses, to assess relevant enrollment criteria, for assigning subtypes of tumors to the appropriate protocol arms, and for validating the suitability of tumor tissues for biology-based studies. Reviewers will assess materials provided to them and return their reviews in a timely fashion to the EGG NOG Biopathology Center.
• Fixed Price vs. Cost Reimbursable– Fixed Price operate under an established price
that cannot be revised. – Cost-Reimbursable sponsored projects allow costs
to be expended up to a set amount.
• Cost Reimbursable Advantages– No incentive to cut corners– Quality vs. time– Less risk
• Cost Reimbursable Disadvantages– Sponsor requires more financial reporting– Refund unused funds– Less incentive to be efficient

• Fixed Price Advantages– Know total price upfront– Best interest to Control Cost
• Leftover money to PI/Department
• Fixed Price Disadvantages– No Price Adjustments– Maximum risk

• Reasons for No Prior Review– Small amount we don’t need a contract– No IDC/F&A lead to larger studies– Competing against other Universities
• Do I need Contract/Budget? Why?– A contract is a legally enforceable agreement – Creates binding obligations, rights and duties for
each party• Payment of money
– Institution has a legal obligation to protect its personnel, assets and resources
– Institution must ensure that it limits its liability– Comply with the terms in the contract
– Comply with state and federal laws and regulations
– Contracts submitted for Institutional Approval• Office of Research Administration• Legal Office• Office of Technology Development• IACUC• IRB• Department
