What is Other Support?

Many federal agencies require the disclosure of Other Support, also referred to as Current and Pending Support, by the principal investigator (PI), other investigators, senior/key personnel and/or subrecipients. The definition of Other Support varies by sponsor but may encompass all resources made available to a researcher including grants and contracts, consulting activities (paid and unpaid), participation in foreign “talent” or similar programs, financial support for laboratory personnel, high-value materials that are not freely available (e.g., gifted biologics, chemicals, etc.), collaborations with researchers outside of UK, etc. Click the buttons below for agency specific guidelines.


What is the Other Support Portal?

This survey is intended to gather information about the active and pending support for your research endeavors. Most of this information is not gathered electronically in other UK data portals and will be used to enable the University to confirm accurate and complete information is included in grant applications and report to sponsors for current and new sponsored project awards. 


How the Portal works?

The below PDF instruction sheet outlines how to use the portal step by step. Click the buttons below for the Portal guide, instructions sheet and to go directly to the Portal. 


The Role of the College Grant Officer

The CGO is available to assist in the submission of the Other Support document. The CGO will have access to edit and lock the record. Once an investigator submits the Other Support record, the CGO is notified. The CGO will then review the record and will send back to the investigator if any further edits are needed. Once the information is considered final, the CGO will lock that version in the portal. The CGO can also assist the investigator in exporting the submission into a specific sponsor template and acquiring an e-signature. The CGO is not responsible for completing the form on behalf of the investigator but can be made a delegate to assist the investigator with the submission.
