Guidelines & Requirements for Funds Received from Extramural Sources

Effective date:

Budget & Resource Management (BRM), in cooperation with an Extramural Funds (EMF) task force, published an update to the UCSF Guidelines and Requirements for Funds Received from Extramural Sources. The EMF task force includes members of the campus Costing Policy Group and senior staff from BRM, the Controller’s Office, and the Office of Sponsored Research, with support from other campus offices for specific sections.

What’s included

  • The guidelines are organized into five broad funding categories.
  • Each category provides definitions, examples, and policy/authority references for receiving funds from external (extramural) sources.

How to use these guidelines

These guidelines offer general definitions and direction, and point to contacts for more information, clarification, and approval. They cover the majority of extramurally funded activities processed by UCSF. For nonstandard activities, use the details provided to identify the appropriate contact for additional guidance.

The content is reviewed periodically and refined as needs arise. As additional proposals are presented, refinements are considered and implemented. What is posted reflects the best, most current guidance available.

Administrators are encouraged to refer inquirers to this website or use the information provided to respond to routine requests and discussions about funding.
