The Office of Sponsored Programs wants to assure our faculty and administration that the office operations are ongoing for extramural submissions and awards during this time of remembrance and recovery. We have been proactively working with our sponsors to work together to meet or extend deadlines, processing awards and getting awards set up and maintaining invoicing. In October we released a message regarding our new Kick Off Meetings for new awards and we have begun scheduling those and have completed our first week of meetings and are receiving positive feedback. More meetings will be scheduled after the new year to allow for holiday and time with our families.
