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.
