By accepting funding for a Blue Center Faculty Research Initiative, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

All questions regarding the monitoring and processing of your expenses should be submitted to the Jackson School Business Office at JacksonBusinessOffice@yale.edu. It is your responsibility to monitor the expenditure of the award, and you alone will be responsible for any over-expenditures. Blue Center awards that you do not use due to a change of plans, underspending, etc., will revert to the Blue Center. If the funding that you have been awarded does not meet the full requirements of your plans, you will need to pursue additional sources to secure the remaining funding or scale your plans to accommodate the funding you do have. Awards remain at the Blue Center and will not be transferred to your research account or to your school or your department and may be used only for the purposes described in your proposal.

In general, your existing dedicated faculty administrative support personnel (either from your home department or from the Jackson School, depending on the circumstances of your appointment) will provide the support associated with any of the activities involved in spending your award funds. If you intend to use your award funds for conferences or events hosted at Yale, the Blue Center will be listed as a sponsor for those events. On a case-by-case basis, the Blue Center staff may be able to provide supplemental administrative support for such Yale-based events. To coordinate support for your event, please contact the executive director of the Blue Center by emailing bluecenter.research@yale.edu and copying phil.kaplan@yale.edu. Please conduct such coordination at your earliest opportunity to ensure that there is time enough to properly support your event.

Please acknowledge the support of the Blue Center for Global Strategic Assessment at the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs in all your publicity, communications, or publications related to or resulting from your event. Please submit copy of the publicity showing these acknowledgements when you submit related expenses.
