Martha,
In our summer Grant Writing Institute
(which we have hosted for 6 years), we provide a session on How to Get Along
With and Work Effectively With the Sponsored Programs/Research Office. We have
a number of PowerPoint presentations that are great on the topic, some with
funny slides. I will be happy to share with you if you want. Also, I have an
old NCURA article called “First Year in Research Administration” by
Melissa Woodward, Administrative
Secretary for the Office of Sponsored Programs at
Linda Mason,
Ed.D.
Coordinator for Grant Writing and External
Funding

Subject: [RESADM-L] sponsored
programs offices and the campus culture
Would
anyone out there like to volunteer ways for a Sponsored Programs Office
(preaward and non-financial post award) to be viewed more positively by the
campus investigators? My question assumes two things - 1) that we want
to be liked and 2) that we actually aren't liked now. There is no
evidence one way or another - just ramblings from a few people in a few places
but it is upsetting some administrators on our campus so I feel compelled
to ask what other universities do.
