Re: Grants.Gov Applications and PIs Mauneel Desai 29 Mar 2006 11:50 EST
Please send the requests directly to my e-mail address at xxxxxx@uic.edu and not to the list. Most people are sending the requests directly to me but few requests are coming to the listserv. PS: After hitting "REPLY" button, in the To: field, remove the listserv's e-mail and put my e-mail address. Thank you. - Mauneel -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG] On Behalf Of Beryline Temples Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 10:09 AM To: xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Grants.Gov Applications and PIs We would also like a copy of your report.

Several university representatives responded and I thank everyone for their responses. Several people also asked me if I could send them a report, summarizing the responses and also what we were planning to do at UIC. I will send a detailed report as an attachment to everyone who requested it. Here at UIC, our ultimate goal is a system-to-system interface. Currently we are looking at several options but the one which I have narrowed down to is a product called Webdisk. Webdisk is a WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) system developed by Blackboard (http://www.blackboard.com <http://www.blackboard.com/> ). In simple terms, a WebDAV system allows you store, manage, share and control files over the web in a secure environment. It acts as a central repository for files/document storage. I don't see e-mail or a listserv as the best method for sending grants.gov applications especially when the deadline is in the next hour. We already had a few bad experiences and that prompted me to look into other options. The good thing is that our university already has a license for Blackboard and Webdisk. Also the interface of WebDisk is similar to blackboard which our faculty uses extensively. I will put more details in the report. Thanks again for everyone's responses. -- Mauneel D Desai Research Specialist, Information Systems Project Coordinator, RiSC Team Leader Office of Vice Chancellor for Research University of Illinois @ Chicago Ph: (312) 413 - 7713 ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ======================================================================
