Settlement provisions

The applicant undertakes to use the approved funds only for scientific purposes.

The approved total amount will be paid out in instalments over the duration of the study.

Personnel costs are covered if they are included in the project application and a confirmation of payment is submitted to the responsible finance department, which is labelled with the name of the project employee, the project title and the project number.

Original invoices (confirmed by the project manager) or payment confirmations from the responsible finance department for payments made in advance for equipment and consumables are required in order to receive a transfer or reimbursement of costs. The project title and project number must be stated on the payment confirmation.

Any fees associated with the subsidy (e.g. for publications) must be listed separately in the project application and approved.

The research grant does not cover travel or accommodation costs!

Repayment of funding

Funding must be repaid if the SFU MED learns that the funds have not been handled correctly or that the agreed modalities have not been adhered to. Repayment must also be made if the annual reporting is not observed and the SFU MED has been misinformed about the expenditure.
