Visiting Scientist Agreements 

A Visiting Scientist Agreement is a legally binding agreement between Stony Brook University and organizations wherein the employee of the organization is granted permission by a SBU faculty member to access the facilities and intellectual resources of the University for a specific period of time in order to perform a research project. Such permission should not generate costs and liabilities to SBU (i.e., the costs associated with the visit, such as equipment, materials, animal costs, reagents, together with F&A, must be covered by the home organization, absent unique circumstances). 

The Office of Sponsored Programs may have to work with other offices on campus before such agreements are finalized.
