Re: RESADM-L Digest - 22 Jun 2000 to 26 Jun 2000 (#2000-69) Adcock, Constance 28 Jun 2000 11:23 EST
I recently changed my subscription to receive digest instead of the all day long back and forth over various topics and was really looking forward to receiving the information in a sort of organized fashion. I am quite dismayed that you cannot click on a topic (or the number of the topic) and zero right in on what you want to read. Also, isn't there some way you can cull all the responses from people who are sending "out of the office messages" and the instructions for using the list serve? I have seen this done on other listserves. It takes so long to find what you are looking for, I'm not sure my choosing the digest is any improvement over the other, which just gets to be too much all day long. Sorry to be critical, but we all have to efficient with our time and I have learned a lot reading material on the listserv but would appreciate your consideration on ways to make it better. Thanks very much! Constance N.

Primarily, members are interested in topics which can assist them in performing their work more effectively and efficiently e.g., pre- and post-award issues, anything related to the body of knowledge of RA e.g., compliance issues, models to processing proposals, cost accounting interpretations, leadership, mentoring techniques, how to make professional presentations. If you have an interest area that you feel is beneficial and want to share it with others is a likely topic. You might also review some of the articles in past issues of the SRA Journal for ideas since one of the purposes of the contributed papers is to identify future articles for the Journal. Does this help? If you need more information, just let me know. We welcome your participation!

I also understand that you cannot supplement trainee stipends with other federal funds. What I am specifically trying to survey is how do you treat this category of person (i.e. Fellow) on "other " grants when they are not appointed on a training grant.

Social Security Administration and many DHHS awards leverage the amount of "State certfied match". In other words, the more we can document as a contribution, the more funding will be provided. State agencies are catching on to the fact that unrecoved indirect cost may represent an untapped source of certified match. The possiblity exists to use uncapped indirect cost rates to determine the match.

I'll get a request from a faculty to help him/her check on the status of a submitted proposal. Since "Organizational Management" has no proposal status option (?????), I always used to help people with this step by first advising them how to look it up under "Proposal Status". That's all very nice, but since <italic>most of them could care less </italic>about learning how to do this, the next statement would usually be "Can you just look & tell me." Okay. I'd access the system as them & look it up for them. In other words, this is one of those customer service things that I (probably mistakenly) believe they want from people who sit in <underline>administrative</underline> offices. Now, when I get such a request, if they've unfortunately <bold>lost their password</bold> which I no longer know (I just encountered one of these!), I have to first go into "Change Password" so that I could assign a password that I knew. Then I had to go back into "Proposal Staus" as them with their "new"password. Then they had to comply with the system-prompted request to change their password AGAIN, so that I wouldn't know what it is! Three new steps, <bold>two of which were not there before</bold> the "new" system was implemented. All, to make sure I do not know what their password is. What I learned out of this experience is that Research Administrators now have <italic>no way</italic> to check on a specific proposal status independent of changing someone's password?????? Can this be? Please tell me if anyone knows a better way? Thanks! *************************************** Jane E. Prudhomme, M.A., M.S. Asst.
