Center and Institute Credit (C&I Credit)

A value equivalent to the contribution of centers and institutes involved on a sponsored project. Stated as a percentage, each individual making an intellectual contribution to a project as an internal PI or Co-PI may distribute credit among one or more center or institute units. C&I Credit percentages are optional, but, if used, will total 100% for a given project. The C&I Credit allocations are specified in the Credit Information in each GeaR OVPR eResearch Portal Proposal. Center and institute units may not be given academic credit even if they are academic/degree granting.  Centers and Institutes are not required to have a Budgetary Unit Code to receive C&I Credit.
