  OFFICE MEMO          What are you called...                 Date:6/29/94
Yale has three research administration offices with similar names.  Mine is the
University Office of Grant and Contract Administration.  We are responsible for
pre-award and non-financial post-award administration of grants and contracts
for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and all schools (Law, Forestry, etc.)
except for the Medical School.  Yale's School of Medicine also has an Office of
Grant and Contract Administration which performs the same functions we do for
Medical School faculty.  Then there is the Office of Grant and Contract
Financial Administration which handles the financial aspects of grants and
contracts.   All three offices are commonly known as the Grants Office--are you
confused yet?  Needless to say there are many phone calls and pieces of mail
that come here that must be redirected (my office is the first one listed in
the telephone directory).  I would strongly suggest that you take care when
deciding to rename your office that you choose something unique!
