We require that the Department Chair sign off on all grant
submissions from his/her department and that an adjunct, fellow
or student have a full time faculty member listed as a co-PI on our
internal "Grant Approval Routing Form".

Our primary concern with adjunct appointments where the
person will be a
PI on a grant/contract is that the person has no vested interest in
the
University and if unethical can walk away at any time. To
counteract this
we require that an adjunct professor have the Dean or
Department Chair as
a co-pi on the grant. This allows us to keep control of the funds.
