Investigator Credit Type

 

The Investigator Credit Type maintenance document is used to establish and maintain numeric codes and textual description values which are stored in database tables.  This data serves as reference information that is made available for display and selection in various areas of the system, including other e-docs.  Many schools use credit types to capture the distribution or allocation of F&A revenue, academic credit, space, or other items. Investigator Credit Split may appear in several KC e-docs, or may not appear at all, depending on your institution’s implementation.
