Public Records Requests
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 PI. Any inquiry from a member of the press (newspaper, television, radio, Internet) should be forwarded to SDSU Research Foundation's director of communications.
University/SDSU Research Foundation Requests for Project Information
Requests for information from PIs relating specifically to a 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 a SDSU Research Foundation project they are NOT responsible for should be in writing and directed to the sponsored research administration department.
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.
