Dean’s Review and Preliminary Approval

Always start with your Dean’s Review and Preliminary approval

For all new international research, programs and activities involving Yale staff, faculty, postdoc, graduate student or other Yale-appointed personnel, the cognizant Dean or the Dean’s designee, or in the School of Medicine the cognizant Department Chair, should give preliminary approval of the proposed international research, program or activity.
