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 Saginaw Valley State University, Michigan, and another good article called “The Role of External Grants in Faculty Development at Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions” by Sally J. Southwick, Director of Sponsored Research at Colorado College. All are helpful and may be of interest to you. I will be glad to provide them for you off the list serve.

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.
