The Office of Research has thus far determined that these are not grants, and the funds have come to campus via our Development Office as gifts, where they are assessed a small gift tax, and then deposited into an account for the PI's research. We are in the process of creating guidelines for our PIs who want to engage in crowd funding, anticipating that it may become a larger source of research funding in the near future, with more complex issues involved. I would be happy to share the guidelines with you once they are completed toward the end of the summer.<br><br>And for those of you still waiting for the crowdfunding webinar presentation to be posted it is coming soon!<br>Thanks,<br>Barbara Walker<br><br><br>On 6/29/2012 10:06 AM, Maryellen O'Brien wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Happy Friday all,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>We're investigating crowd funding and wondering how institutions are handling it or why you decided against it?
