C. T. Bauer College of Business Administrator Handbook

Funding

A grant is a transfer of money for financial assistance that does not need to be repaid, typically provided to a researcher for exploring new avenues of knowledge. Faculty members apply for and receive grants to study emerging trends and theories of business administration. Grants are governed by strict procurement, salary and indirect cost sharing requirements, apart from the University MAPP and SAM rules. The Director of Business Operations, College Business Administrator and five academic DBAs have been certified through the UH Research Administration Certification Program.
Research Grants
	RD2K is a software application that tracks research and research related business. The software was developed, and is currently in use, at the University of Houston. RD2K supports the typical research process of pre-proposals, proposals, awards, and contracts, also referred to as “Grants Management”, as well as the creation of intellectual property, the further development of third party technologies, the creation of startup companies resulting from intellectual property, and human subjects compliance.
