Let R be an arbitrary ring with identity and M a right R-module with the ring S = End(R)(M) of endomorphisms of M. The notion of an F-inverse split module M, where F is a fully invariant submodule of M, is defined and studied by the present authors. This concept produces Rickart submodules of modules in the sense of Lee, Rizvi and Roman. In this paper, we consider the submodule F of M as Z(M) and Z*(M), and investigate some properties of Z(M)-inverse split modules and Z*(M)-inverse split modules M. Results are applied to characterize rings R for which every free (projective) right R-module M is F-inverse split for the preradicals such as Z(.) and Z*(.).
