Participating in externally funded research
If you're applying to a research program outside UNR Med that includes a stipend or other funding, University approval is often required. This ensures your participation complies with institutional policies and meets regulatory standards.
We will help you:
- Understand program requirements
- Secure necessary University approvals
- Ensure IRB compliance
- Stay on track with documentation and deadlines
