Establishing a Research Center

Effective October 1, 2014, CPH will adopt the following policy regarding the establishment of new research centers. This policy does not impact the current research units.

A research unit may be named as a Center if it has more than one senior researcher or one senior and at least two junior investigators working in a related research area and if the key collaborators reside in two or more departments within CPH and/or school within Temple. Centers must have active externally sponsored projects.

Note that Centers meeting this and certain financial criteria may be eligible for different guidelines for the allocation of indirect cost recovery. The Center directors will need to negotiate with the Dean, Associate Dean for Research, and the Vice Dean of Finance regarding the allocation of funds and impact on the Center’s use of centralized research administrative resources.
