Many, many moons ago, when dinosaurs still roamed the earth and I was a n00bie research administrator at another institution, we developed an SOP (not really a policy) around it. Basically wherever the bulk of the costs went, that’s the unit that submitted the proposal and administered the award. If the center/institute contributed resources (space, equipment, facilities….) to the project, they could be affiliated with the proposal (and would get a cut of the returned IDC). But there had to be some substantive involvement of the center/institute, or use of its resources, in order for that to happen.
The backstory behind the development of that SOP was that a lot of centers had gotten both lazy and greedy, and affiliated faculty to themselves just so they’d get a cut of the IDC when those faculty submitted proposals, but without really contributing anything to the project.

The best way to get in touch with me continues to be via email: I am working a hybrid schedule.
Oakland University resides on the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary lands of the Anishinaabe, known as the Three Fires Confederacy, composed of the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi. The land was ceded in the 1807 Treaty of Detroit and makes up southeast Michigan.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Policy on Proposals Submitted Thru Home Departments vs Centers
Does anyone have a policy regarding PIs submitting through their home department vs a research center on campus?
Would you be willing to share?
I’ve done a deep dive on google but wasn’t able to find a specific policy.
