Prior Reviews

Request for Prior Review Form MS Word .doc

The OC conducts Prior Reviews of Projects in which a) a Sponsor seeks to contractually limit disclosure of Project Pertinent Details; b) a Sponsor seeks to contractually limit RIT's right to publish Project results; or c) a Project involves information designated as Classified under Federal guidelines.

Before a contract between RIT and the Sponsor is signed, the Committee reviews information provided by the PI on the Request for Prior Review Form, paying particular attention to the Project's involvement of and impact on students. Once the Committee reaches a decision, it forwards its recommendation to the Provost for official action.
