ICTS Charges

NATURE OF RECHARGES

Recharges are submitted to IRB approved lead researchers for support of the implementation of research procedures and services, not included in ICTS awards. The ICTS is funded by the National Institutes of Health to provide infrastructure support for researchers to implement their peer reviewed and IRB approved research. Working closely with the lead researcher, the following reflects the recharge rates to be implemented. These charges have been reviewed and approved by the ICTS Advisory Committee for implementation. This committee consists of UC Irvine faculty researchers that have been appointed by the Dean and the Program Director to serve on this committee.

INTERNAL CONTROL

All recharges are approved by the ICTS Advisory Committee (SRC), a structure required by the funding entity, the National Institutes of Health. As part of the scientific review, the GAC meets monthly and recommends levels of support from the ICTS, which includes the provision of procedures or services that the lead researcher has received other external approvals from the funding source for their research. In order for the ICTS
to access these funds, a structure has been set up to facilitate the transfer of expense through the recharge process. All recharges are processed by the ICTS Administrative Director, based on the documentation of the GAC approval and specific services provided, and provided in writing to the department being charged. The ICTS Administrative Assistant will assist in maintaining these records.
