How do I request college cost share for my student's PPSP application or for the Pelotonia proposal?

For PPSP: Contact Amy Raubenolt (raubenolt.19@osu.edu) with a copy of the student's CV to initiate the discussion about the cost share division between your department and the college.

Why do I have to complete the COI form?

All individuals must submit the Conflict of Interest form annually if they:

  • are investigators or senior/key personnel on current Institutional Review Board, Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee or Institutional Biosafety Committee protocols during the past 12 months.
  • received salary support during the past 12 months from specific federal grants or industry-sponsored projects (this is often the case for students).
  • have been identified by their college or unit as having fiduciary or financial responsibilities.
