*Effort should be made toward properly attributing expenditures with the appropriate faculty. For program project grants, multi-PI, and other large grants where individual projects and project budgets can be identified and assigned, research expenditures from those project budgets will be applied toward that faculty’s expenditures. For other grants, like Center grants, where there are grant cores or project leads, “child accounts” can be created so there is tracking of research expenditures to the faculty member. The VCR Office will not modify the values used for expenditures to calculate the research space metric (e.g., project expenditures were attributed in SAP to a center grant PI and not the project lead).

*Training grant expenditures are not counted toward a research space metric but may warrant the assignment of administrative space specific to the needs defined by the grant.

*Unfunded new faculty may be assigned research space based on research expenditures from their start-up package. Alternatively, the space is assigned to the department chair or research mentor whose own space metric must accommodate that additional space. A separate [https://www.unmc.edu/vcr/_documents/research_space_request_form.pdf UNMC Space Request] should be made once the faculty achieves independent funding.

Assigned research space includes all office and lab spaces in all buildings assigned to the investigator.

*Spaces include, but are not limited to, labs, common equipment rooms, tissue culture, animal facility procedure rooms exclusively for their use (not animal housing space) and any offices. Shared spaces, like equipment rooms, will be divided proportionally among those using those spaces.
