Those of us at UNH involved with administrative computer systems have been
 hard at work ferreting out and fixing computer issues relating to the year
 2000 and feel that we are in pretty good shape wrt administrative computing.
 We are somewhat concerned about broader implications associated with research
 activity itself, and particularly with our obligations for sponsored research
 as outlined in NSF Special Notice No. 120
 (http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/1997/iin120/iin120.htm). As the document outlines,
 the danger could be lurking in electronic devices, laboratory equipment,
 software running on mainframes or on individual work stations, etc.

 What, if anything, have you done to assure that sponsored research activities
 and deliverables will not be adversely affected by the year 2000.  Who has
 been leading the charge on this issue?  Faculty advisory groups?  Sponsored
 research office?  VP for Research?  VP for InfoSystems/Technology?  Do you
 have an insitutional plan/checklist for addressing Year 200 compliance?  (If
 so, and if it is available on the web, the URL would be most welcome).
