There are three major rate categories applicable to sponsored programs:

• Sponsored Research

Investigator-driven studies with results that contribute to generalizable knowledge; includes the training of individuals in research techniques.

• Instruction

UNH’s teaching and training activities, except for research training (see Sponsored Research, above), whether offered for credit toward a degree or certificate or on a non-credit basis, and whether offered through regular academic departments or separate divisions, such as summer school or extension.

• Other Sponsored Activities

Programs and projects other than sponsored research or instruction, such as health service projects, community service programs, and the Upward Bound program that provides academic support services to first generation college students. The proposal budgeter will need to determine the type of project -- sponsored research, instruction, or other activity -- based on the scope of work expressed by the project director in the proposal, and then refer to the section on On-Campus and Off-Campus Rates following.
