Michigan State University added steps to safeguard personal and institutional data by applying a new multi-factor authentication solution. What is MFA? By late 2021, MSU will complete the transition from two-factor authentication (also known as 2FA or Symantec VIP) to a new multi-factor authentication solution (MFA or Okta Verify). After this date, Symantec VIP/2FA options will no longer work. Stronger authentication methods, like multi-factor authentication, are needed to protect systems that store sensitive and restricted information. Like many organizations, MSU uses MFA to safeguard personal and institutional data within our community by pairing something an individual has (e.g., a randomized security code) with something they know (e.g., a password). An MFA credential is a method by which you receive your randomized security code. To register credential or learn more about MSU Multi-Factor Authentication, please visit https://secureit.msu.edu/multi-factor/index.html. Additional Help is also available. If you have questions or need help, contact MSU IT Service Desk at (517) 432-6200 or tech.msu.edu/support/help/.
Provisions for cost sharing are arranged on an individual proposal basis by the Office of the Associate Dean for Research.

The questions faculty are required to answer from the federal agencies are continually changing and this allows the answers to be addressed and updated as changes are made at the federal level.

All PIs and other project personnel are individually responsible for compliance with export controls and trade sanctions.
Michigan State University is required to comply with a variety of U.S. Government statutes and regulations dealing with export controls and trade sanctions. ECTS has developed the on-line Export Control and Open Research Review Worksheet (ECORRW) to help identify export controlled technologies or materials found on the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) list, and/or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) list, and to identify research activities planned with international entities that may be subject to trade sanctions.
NO condition set forth in #1 above applies, AND the project is one of the following:

Frequently Required Budget and Proposal Data
If you're still not finding the info you need, contact DER and we will do our best to help find an answer for you.

Sponsored Programs Administration has Notice of Award/ Award Types & Timelines pages that provide more background. Please notify DER& OSP if you receive a notice of award directly from the sponsor.
At-Risk proposals will need to be endorsed by the Associate Dean of Research, John Verboncoeur, (or dean delegate) before OSP will begin review and submission.
