Award Administration

1. Reporting: At the time of award, detailed reporting requirements will be outlined.
    
2. Start-up Costs: As previously noted; the CP provides up to $75,000 in start-up money that must be matched equally. In unusual cases, the Office of Research and Health Sciences will consider providing additional start-up support outside of these programs for faculty hires contingent upon review of curricula vitae and academic unit proposals.
    
3. Recruiting and Hiring: All recruiting and hiring is to be conducted in accordance with the USC Faculty Manual, and human resources and equal opportunity policies. The hiring plans will be consistent with USC or State rules and regulations.
    
4. FTE’s: The Division of Human Resources has established a pool containing FTE positions adequate to satisfy the needs of the CP Program. A Request to Increase FTE Baseline should be submitted with the proposal or with the hiring documents, identifying the hire as a CP hire. Once approved, the unit’s FTE baseline will be adjusted accordingly.
   
   All Columbia campus colleges and schools, including the School of Medicine, will have accounts established for the Centenary Plan. The accounts will be established in the office of the dean and will receive the CP funding from either the Office of Research and Health Sciences (A490 accounts) or the USC Research Foundation (K490 accounts).
   
   To access funding, units will send copies of the offer and acceptance letters and the PBP-1 Hiring Document for FTE Positions or PBP-2 Hiring Document for non - FTE/non-student Positions as applicable to Jim Little (BYRNES) 901 Sumter Street Suite 511.
   
   Annual funding will be provided through the established accounts on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the terms of the awarded proposal and the actual costs of hiring.
   
   Note: CP funding expires on an award three (3) years after the initial transfer and remaining funding will be returned to the Office of Research and Health at the end of the third year.
