Suspension and Termination for Disciplina disallowed opportunity to renew grantee status except in conformance with the procedures below. For the purposes of this policy, the line of administration will be considered to go from the faculty member to the Head, Chair, or Director of his or her department or program, then to the Xxxx of the appropriate college, and then to the Vice Chancellor for Research or similar position. Hereafter, “grantee” will refer to any principal investigator, any pair (or larger group) of principal investigators, or any project director or pair (or larger group) of project directors. Procedures: In the event that anyone has concerns about the conduct of a grantee in the performance of a grantee’s funded obligations, those concerns shall be directed in writing to the Chair or Director of the grantee’s department or program, who will then initiate an informal meeting with the grantee to discuss the situation. At this point in the process, the Chair or Director will discuss the situation without identifying the person or agency that has brought forward the concerns. This initial step should be regarded as a primarily informal attempt at a quick resolution of issues. If the situation cannot be resolved informally to the satisfaction of both parties (the Chair or Director and the grantee), the Chair or Director will inform the grantee in writing of the concerns that were previously discussed informally, as well as detailing the origins of the concerns, and may suggest formal steps to be taken to deal with the concerns that would be satisfactory. At this point, the Vice Chancellor for Research or similar position may seek input from the sponsor. The grantee shall make any response in writing within two weeks after receiving written notice of the concerns. If the outstanding issues are not resolved by this exchange to the satisfaction of both parties and cannot be resolved within two additional weeks by a further exchange of letters, then either party can request that the file of letters be forwarded to the Xxxx. The Xxxx will initiate an informal meeting with the grantee and the Chair or Director in an effort to negotiate a settlement. If the Xxxx cannot negotiate a mutually agreeable settlement within one month of receiving the case, the file will go forward with a narrative letter reporting the efforts attempted and their failure, along with any comments, to the Vice Chancellor for Research or similar position. When the file reaches the Vice Chancellor for Research, a final a...

The recommendation, with explanation of reasons, will be either that no change in the management of the funded activity be made, or that the Vice Chancellor work with the funding agency and any campus agencies involved to negotiate a change in funding responsibilities.

The findings of fact and the recommendation will be based solely on the hearing record. Unless the individual concerned requests otherwise, except for such simple announcements as may be required covering the time of hearing and similar matters, public statements and publicity about the case by the Hearing Panel, the individual concerned and his or her representatives, and the administration will be avoided until the proceedings have been completed and a recommendation reached.
