I'm forwarding the information on the NCURA Financial Research
Administration conference in case you haven't seen the announcement.  This
is the 5th year for this focused meeting, and it has been very popular.
Last year, over 700 people attended.

Financial Research Administration V: Maximizing Our Assets
February 29-March 2, 2004
San Diego, California

Sponsored by the National Council of University Research Administrators
In cooperation with the National Conference on College Cost Accounting

The Preliminary Program for FRAV is now available online at
http://www.ncura.edu/conferences/frav/.

The FRA V meeting will address how we can maximize our assets to be our
most effective in the financial administration of sponsored research.
Based on your feedback, we will be updating and bringing back those
sessions and speakers that made the conference for you.  In addition, we
are adding new tracks and a special focus on the communication elements
we need to consider in our profession. This year, we are extremely
pleased that NACCA, the National Conference on College Cost Accounting,
will be joining us again to make FRA V its annual meeting event.

Your FRAV program committee is focused on the offerings that will be
chosen under each of our 7 tracks: Transactional, Compliance, Costing,
Departmental, Hospital/Non-Profit, Primers and Communication.  We are
also expanding the workshop offerings so that the topics span a wider
range and more people will be able to take advantage of this additional
opportunity for learning and networking. The program committee is taking
great ideas and making them outstanding by carefully looking at all
aspects of the meeting to make every offering the strongest it can be!

As we will be at the newly renovated San Diego Marriott, we will also
enjoy the convenience of being right downtown! San Diego International
Airport is only 3 miles northwest of downtown San Diego. From suave
steakhouses and eclectic ethnic fare to dinner clubs and sultry jazz
bars, the over 100 restaurants intermingled with great night spots are
all situated within blocks of each other.

 FRA V is an outstanding opportunity for our Community that
-spotlights the information you need to do your job effectively
-focuses on how to communicate effectively in your position
-and nurtures the building of a network of colleagues and friends to
share and learn from throughout your career.

We look forward to you joining us for Financial Research Administration
V!
