The rules for handling refund money are specified in Administrative Directive 21-002. The handling of refund money includes the opening of the refund account and its utilization for research purposes. The balance of refunds can be used in these ways:

• Making a budget available to the researcher, subject to the submission of a research proposal to the Vice President for Research and Development and its approval by him. The submission of the proposal to the Vice President and its budget - if approved - will be done on the SAP researcher's portal.

• Coverage of expenses in the research budgets of the researcher that are not covered by the funding agency. This action will be carried out by the authorized workers of the Authority for Research and Development or the Finance Division, when they close the research budgets of the researcher.
