Roles & Responsibilities
1.2 Dean
Each Dean is responsible for overseeing the research and other sponsored activities conducted within their School or College. The Dean, or their designee, reviews, approves, and signs the Document Summary Sheet (DSS). The Dean's signature on the DSS:
- Confirms that the proposed research or sponsored project aligns with the University's mission and serves the best interests of the institution;
- Affirms that the activity is appropriate and suitable for the School or College in which it will be conducted;
- Indicates that the project is consistent with short- and long-term plans of the School or College;
- Acknowledges awareness of all resource needs required to carry out the project, including - but not limited to - space, materials, staffing, matching funds, and any associated hazards; and
- Confirms the School or College's commitment to meet any specific requirements, including the provision of matching funds if the proposal is funded, or that the Dean has verified the availability of such resources from other sources.
