What Are Affiliate Employees and Organizations?

Academic medical centers, hospitals, and universities often conduct sponsored research that involve their own staff as well as staff who are technically employed by a different institution.

For example, a university may receive a grant that involves its own employees and employees of an affiliated academic medical center. A hospital may receive a grant that involves its own employees and employees of an affiliated physician practice.

Employees who are not technically employed by the grant recipient are referred to as affiliate employees. The institutions who employ the affiliate employees are referred to as affiliate organizations.
