Sad news indeed.

There are others who knew her better than I and can report aspects of her career.   I, however,  cannot forget that great moment not so long ago, when she stood up at an FDP meeting after some Federal Agency announced they had a great new proposal submission system.  She stated in no uncertain terms, “we do not want any more new rogue grants systems!"

That became a rallying cry for the FDP.  One of her many legacies.

Julie T. Norris is a name most of us who have been in research administration since the ‘80s will remember as one of the leading spirits in this country.  From the very beginning Julie was involved in explaining federal regulations, NCURA, co-authoring  A Guide to Managing Federal Grants and was respected by federal government officers and peers from all over the country.

Julie passed away early this morning in Houston, Texas.

I wanted to let the research admin community know – and to offer a brief thank you for how giving, intelligent and amazingly energetic she was to make research administration a true profession beginning 40 years ago.   Julie was the Assistant Vice President and Director of Sponsored Programs at the University of Houston until 1995 and then directed MIT’s Office of Sponsored Programs for 10 years. Later she worked at Huron Consulting.

Each of us who knew Julie will cherish her warmth and vision.  What an incredible spirit!  Thank you, Julie!
