What is a Sponsored Project?
Sponsored Projects are externally-funded activities in which a formal written agreement, i.e., a grant, contract, or cooperative agreement, is entered into by Stanford University and by the sponsor. A sponsored project includes a specified statement of work, detailed budget, and sponsor terms and conditions that define requirements for financial accounting, technical and financial reporting, and disposition of data rights, publications and intellectual property.
