Yearly Membership Term
A yearly HRI membership starts July 1 and ends June 30
Associate vs. Full Membership
- Full Membership: For the first year as an HRI member, full membership is conferred. For individuals who have been at Michigan Tech for less than 24 months, full membership is conferred for a period of two years.
After that, full membership is maintained by:
1. Having submitted a grant that contains overhead in the last year with the HRI as the primary institute, or
2. Having a current grant that is generating overhead for the institute
Note: Members on sabbatical or other university-approved leave are given one full year of membership.
- Associate Membership: Members who lapse from Full Membership can be reinstated mid-year upon completion of part 1 of the Full Membership requirement.
