These individuals are fully funded by his /her institution. This is a no pay/ no benefits position with NJIT. There are two types of courtesy appointments at NJIT; an Affiliated Faculty appointment and a Visiting Scholar appointment. Please read below for further distinction between the two types of appointments.
Once you have reviewed all information, if you should have any questions please contact courtesyappointments@njit.edu.
Affiliated Faculty
This title is usually approved for an individual who wishes to advise graduate students (as a secondary adviser) or be on a dissertation committee. A proposed affiliated faculty member cannot apply for grants at NJIT nor receive any pay from the institution, through grants or otherwise. These appointments cannot exceed three years.
Visiting Scholar
A Visiting Scholar is expected to engage collaborative research with existing NJIT faculty. If no such relationship exists with an NJIT faculty member, this title will not be appropriate. A proposed Visiting Scholar member cannot apply for grants at NJIT nor receive any pay from the institution, through grants or otherwise. These appointments cannot exceed one year.
A Visiting Scholar must be an employee of another university, research lab, or company, and is expected to engage in collaborative research with existing NJIT faculty. If the researcher is currently a student at a foreign university, please refer to "Prescribed Study".
Process and Forms
This process is collaborative among the offices of the Department of Human Resources, the Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Research and the Provost and Senior Executive Vice President. It is a process to insure that the University is compliant with federal regulations, while allowing academic collaboration and collegial research to go forward. There can be no exceptions to these guidelines.
Since these appointments are without pay and without benefits the host, department, and/or college dean will submit a complete application package to the Office of Research.
All completed documentation must be submitted to be considered a complete package. Completed packets should be sent to courtesyappointments@njit.edu for review. No appointment will be considered without these executed forms:
- Application Packet (The same form is used for both Visiting Scholars and Affiliated Faculty; refer to descriptions above to select the appropriate request on the form.)
- Resume or Curriculum Vitae
- MOU with Appointee’s Home Institution – if applicable
- Proof of Financial Support from Home Institution or Sponsor Abroad
- DS2019 Packet (if foreign national). Please contact the Office of Global Initiatives at global@njit.edu. This packet will not be completed until final approval has been given for the candidate.
There are several levels of approval for these applications. The approval process takes two to three months for final approval. Please make certain the start date is entered accordingly.
Upon approval of a complete courtesy appointment request package, a letter will be issued to the visitor and visa paperwork may then be processed along with any onboarding protocols with the Office of Human Resources. No courtesy appointment will commence until all appropriate approvals have been obtained and a signed appointment letter has been returned by the candidate.
Note – Additional forms and processing may be required as part of the onboarding process with Human Resources and University Information Systems.

Training manuals and pre-recorded training videos are available on the Streamlyne webpage.
For a 1-1 training session, please contact your respective college research representative. A complete list of those resources can be found here.
The key personnel will receive a notification through email and via their Action List on the Streamlyne Portal Index page.
The department chair, college dean and the college division chief will be notified by email only once during the proposal sign-off approval process. However if a PI submits a proposal, the PI can decide whether to receive future sign-off approval requests or not. If he/she does wish to receive future requests, he/she will be notified via email.
If the PI chooses not to receive future requests, he/she will not be notified via email. The approval will also be acknowledged upon the PI’s submission into workflow.
Yes, both the Pre-Award and Compliance modules include the ‘Copy to New Document’ functionality in order to copy both Proposals and Protocols.
Federal regulations require that all persons who are involved in the design, conduct, or reporting of research must complete an annual COI disclosure. Federal regulations requirements also mandate that faculty, staff and students who are key personnel on research protocols involving the use of human subjects, animals, or biohazardous materials in research also be screened for potential COIs, NJIT requires the completion of this information each time a research proposal is submitted for external funding.
You must report all personal financial interests from external sources, including travel. This would include any interest in a company, business, foundation or other organization that:
- Provides products or services in your academic, clinical, or research discipline or area of study. An example would be a manufacturer that has products in your professional discipline, clinical practice area, or area of research;
- Will likely make use of your scholarly work or research – either directly or indirectly. For example, could the company, foundation or organization use your scholarly work or research in its own product line, or could it be used by a competitor?
- Is a member of an industry, trade, advocacy group or professional association that funds scholarly work, research or is an advocate for funding in your professional discipline or area of study or expertise;
- Has some other relationship not described above that could reasonably appear to impact your research or other obligations to the University;
- You receive royalties directly from intellectual property that you have licensed to an external entity.
A "financial interest" is any monetary value that belongs to you, your spouse or partner, or your dependent children. The financial interest becomes "significant" if it meets ANY of the following conditions:
- All income from a publicly-traded entity received during the 12 months prior to disclosure plus the value of any equity interest in the entity as of the date of an annual disclosure, when combined, exceeds $10,000 or represents more than 5% ownership interest in any single entity. Examples of income include consulting fees, honoraria, or paid authorship. Equity interest includes any stock, stock option, or other ownership interest;
- ANY equity interest held in a non-publicly traded entity, or more than $10,000 in income from a non-publicly traded entity received during the 12 months prior to disclosure; or
- Income from intellectual property rights and interests received from an entity other than NJIT that exceeds $10,000 during the 12 months prior to disclosure.
Please note that the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) and its agencies define a "significant" financial interest (SFI) at a lower level than do other federal agencies, such as the National Science Foundation, and the university’s longstanding level of $10,000 described above.
Specifically, if you have worked on PHS funded research in the past year, or expect to work on PHS-funded projects this year, a financial interest becomes “significant” if it meets ANY of the following conditions:
- All income from a publicly-traded entity received during the 12 months prior to disclosure plus the value of any equity interest in the entity as of the date of an annual disclosure, when combined, exceeds $5,000. Examples of income include consulting fees, honoraria, or paid authorship. Equity interest includes any stock, stock option, or other ownership interest;
- ANY equity interest held in a non-publicly traded entity, or more than $5,000 in income from a non-publicly traded entity received during the 12 months prior to disclosure; or
- Income from intellectual property rights and interests received from an entity other than NJIT that exceeded $5,000 during the 12 months prior to disclosure.
PHS agencies include the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Indian Health Service (IHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), or Administration on Aging (AOA).
Federal regulations and university policy do not require you to disclose the following types of financial interests:
- Reimbursement or payment of travel paid by NJIT, or covered by a sponsored program agreement managed through the Office of Research;
- Royalties received from NJIT for intellectual property owned by the university;
- Royalties resulting from traditional academic publishing activities such as the publication of text books or other educational materials;
- Any salary or other remuneration paid to you by NJIT.
Faculty, staff, and students are required to disclose the occurrence of any reimbursed or sponsored travel paid for directly or reimbursed by an external entity.
However, this disclosure requirement does not apply to:
- Any travel reimbursed, sponsored or paid for by a U.S. government agency, a U.S. higher education institution, a U.S. academic teaching hospital, medical center, or a U.S. research institute affiliated with a U.S. higher education institution; and
- Any travel reimbursement or payment of travel made by NJIT, a university college, department or unit, or travel covered by a sponsored program agreement managed through the Office of Research.
For research purposes, if it is determined that a significant financial conflict of interest exists that may directly and significantly affect the design, conduct or reporting of a specific research project, then the case will be reviewed by the Vice Provost for Research.
NJIT uses the Citi Training programs.
Financial conflicts of interest disclosures made for research purposes will be reviewed by the Executive Director, Sponsored Research Programs Administration, for compliance with applicable regulations. Determination that a conflict exists will require the PI to work with the Chair and Dean to provide a mitigation plan that will be reviewed and approved by the Executive Director, Sponsored Research Programs Administration.
No, you cannot hire a relative to assist you on a research project supported by federal funds. According to Part 310 § 310.102 of Title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations, a “relative” includes a wide range of family members such as parents, siblings, spouses, and in-laws. Federal agencies and institutions have strict policies against nepotism to ensure fairness and avoid conflicts of interest in employment practices. Both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) explicitly prohibit non-federal employees working on research projects supported by their funds from hiring, supervising, promoting, or advancing their own relatives. These policies also extend to training opportunities. The goal of these policies is to prevent the use of insider access or influence to sway decisions in favor of family members.
