Once a donation is identified as a Donation for Research, Cambridge University Development and Alumni Relations Office (CUDAR) and the Department accepting the donation will need to liaise together to complete the Donations for Research Set-Up Form[LO1] . This will then provide the Research Operations Office with all the information required for the donation to be set on the Grants Module with lighter budgetary controls than standard research grants. This will give principle investigators/project leads the nomal flexibility they receive with other donations.
While the grant will be set up by the Research Operations Office the remainder of the work involved, from accepting and acknowledging receipt of the donation to requesting payment from the donor, will continue to be carried out by CUDAR.
