Tom Roberst asked me to come and present
I said I would if you'd pay my way and my co-presentors, too.
No chance, right?

>Dear Julie,

>While we get really big overviews on NIH re-invention activities at the
>National and big overviews at the regional meetings, I do not recall a
>session which communicates how different types of universities are
>responding to the changes related to NIH reinvention.  For example, what
>infra-structures and changes, if any are needed to support faculty in
>responding to modular budgets and ensure compliance with cost accounting
>standards?  Or is there no relationship between these?  It is really
>important and appreciated that the federal agencies share with us the
>changes that are forthcoming.  So, I think it would be great to hear how we,
>as universities, are changing to meet the re-invention challenges put upon
>us by external forces. (In this case, I do not necessarily mean how we
>re-invent our own departments and institutions as this is a different matter.)

>Perhaps a panel of 6 or 7 representative types of schools responding to
>questions on what their particular institution has done with policy and
>regulatory changes would be interesting.  What do you think?
