Local Mental Health Services may apply directly to the grantor for non-state research funds, singly or collectively. When Local Mental Health Services apply with a facility of the Department for non-departmental research grant support, these grants shall come under the general administration of the Department of Mental Hygiene and require the approval of the Local Director before submission to the grantor. The application for the grant must include all direct and indirect costs of the proposed research, unless a specific exception to this requirement is authorized by the Department of Mental Hygiene.
