Fellowship PDRF Form The online Fellowship PDRF replaces the SU-42FL, Conflict of Interest Disclosure, NIH Certification and Appointment Verification and Housestaff Verification Forms. Postdocs applying for fellowships will require a SUNET ID in order to utilize the Fellowship PDRF in the SeRA system. This may require the Department to sponsor a SUNET ID for prospective Postdocs. The Department and Faculty Mentor review and approval of PDRFs will still be required. Fellowship PDRF Quick Guide Fellowship PDRF completion guidelines and tips (revised 10/01/2015) |
|
Institutional Representative Internal deadline: Stanford policy requirement. Processing applications requires a thorough review of all documents, and entry into the University pre-award tracking system. Therefore, Stanford policy requires that all investigators (PIs) submit their online Fellowship PDRF and application materials (per the guidelines above) to Fellowship Office in RMG 5-working days prior to the agency deadline. Complete applications are processed in the order received. Please read: School of Medicine Internal Proposal Deadline policy webpage >> (updated Feb. 1, 2015) |
|
The Institutional Representative will: Sign the application and Provide a cover letter. [Cover letters are often optional to the agency, but are included as a courtesy. They also indicate that the application has been entered into the system, which makes funding procedures easier to complete when awarded.] |
|
Applications should be carefully checked before photocopying and/or mailing. |
|
The applicant and/or department is responsible for: Mailing Photocopying Scientific Corroboration Sending Animal or Human Protocol Information to the Agency |
Limited Submission Programs require an Internal Review pre-approval by a Selection Committee. In limited submission programs, the sponsor restricts the number of applications or proposals a campus can submit to the agency. The guidelines for these programs require institutions to screen pre-proposals or nominations to determine which applications will be submitted for competition. Limited funding opportunity announcements which contain internal submission deadlines and guidelines will be distributed via email and posted to the Limited Submission Funding Opportunity webpage >> by Jeanne Heschele in the Research Management Group throughout the year.
Activation Process
In order to get your fellowship-funds paid to you, the Institutional Representative must activate the award. The activation process involves verification of appointment status, visa status and animal and/or human subject protocols. Here are the suggested set of steps to make the activation process timely, so there is no lapse in your funding.
Contact the Institutional Representative as soon as you receive the notice of award from the funding agency. In some cases the letters are copied to Institutional Representative but you should verify receipt in any case and verify whether you are accepting the award or not and if you are accepting the award based on the original award notice (i.e. dates).
Key points to look for in an award letter for activation :
--Start and stop dates of the funding period
--
The dollar amount corresponding to the specific time period
--Terms and conditions
--Specific permission, if needed, to receive the fellowship as salary payments
The Institutional Representative will do the appropriate verifications of current human subject, animal protocol, Biohazard or Radiologic approvals.
IMPORTANT: Awards cannot be activated if human, animal, biohazard, radiologic protocol approvals have not been obtained specifically for the agency and research project .
Fellows are responsible to work with the department administrator to make sure the proper protocols have been obtained.

Fellowship payments are entered as stipends in PeopleSoft GFS by the department administrator.
Postdoc stipend checks are cut once a month at the end of the month.
Quarterly tax estimates must be filed by the postdoc for stipend payments. Postdocs should seek professional tax advice and/or browse the IRS and Cal State Franchise tax board home pages available from the Scholars' Handbook page on taxes.
Sponsor payments:
Payments are to be made payable to Stanford University. Each check payment or wire transfer must reference the research project title, agreement number, invoice or voucher number, and the name of the Principal Investigator for identification. Sponsors
should be instructed to send fellowship checks to the following lockbox:
