Notes on the Use of the “Chang Gung Medical Research Grant”
1. The allocation of the “Chang Gung Medical Research Grant” shall
be carried out in accordance with the “Chang Gung Medical Research Grant
Management Guidelines” (see the attachment).
All PIs are requested to use the funds strictly in accordance with these
regulations. If the regulations are amended
in the future, please comply with the latest version announced by the funding
institution.
2. Article 1.2, Section (3) of Chapter 1 stipulates:
(1) Regular full-time
faculty members/researchers under Chang Gung University or Chang Gung University of
Science and Technology who are also co-appointed researchers with Chang Gung
Memorial Hospital are eligible for funding.
(2) Additionally, their external academic research projects must
include at least one individual who meets the criteria of being either:
A. A regular staff member under Chang Gung Memorial
Hospital, or
B. A clinical professor/associate professor/assistant professor at Chang Gung
University or Chang Gung University of Science and Technology (i.e., a
part-time attending physician at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and a full-time
faculty member at either university), acting as a co-principal investigator.
3. Article 5.2 of Chapter 5 stipulates: All
approved expenditures must follow the hospital’s regulations and standards.
External funds should be used up before drawing from the grant. In other words,
for grant numbers with abbreviations ending in “T,” external funds must be
spent first.
4. Article 6.2, Section (3) of Chapter 6 stipulates: If the PI
resigns or retires (excluding those rehired as consultants), the use of
the grant will cease starting one month prior to the
resignation/retirement date, and the accounting department will proceed with
final settlement. If the expenditures exceed the total of the allocated
matching grant and BMRP balance, the PI shall be personally responsible for
repayment. If there is still a remaining balance in the BMRP, it will be closed
on the date of resignation/retirement, the case will be permanently closed, and
no further applications or expenditures will be permitted.
The term “cessation of fund use” as referred to in
these regulations also includes any expenditure vouchers dated within one month
prior to the PI’s resignation or retirement.
5. For other matters regarding the use of the “Chang Gung Medical
Research Grant” (including the annual grant and BMRP), PIs are requested to carefully read and follow the provisions
of the Regulations for the Management of the Grant.
