When a request for information is made to SDSU Research Foundation regarding accounts, projects or activities, the following guidelines apply:

Non-University/SDSU Research Foundation Requests for Project Information

The following information may be disclosed to any person requesting information:

• Project name
• Amount of award
• Name of sponsor
• Project period

All other inquiries should be referred to the principal investigator (PI). Inquiries from the press (newspaper, television, radio, Internet) should be forwarded immediately to SDSU Research Foundation’s director of communications.

University/SDSU Research Foundation Requests for Project Information

Requests for information from PIs relating specifically to an SDSU Research Foundation project that they are responsible for should be granted, including inspecting any records relating to the project. Requests for information from PIs regarding an SDSU Research Foundation project they are NOT responsible for should be in writing and directed to the Director of Sponsored Research Administration.

Any requests for information from a school/college dean will be granted when the PI of the project is a member of the faculty or staff of the same school/college.
