Join us in welcoming the newest Office of Sponsored Programs team member, Ann Muchina, Electronic Research Administration Senior Business Analyst. Ann will support the development, implementation and maintenance of Cayuse, provide Cayuse user training guides, and provide ongoing Cayuse support for the Office of Sponsored Programs.
A note from Ann: It's a pleasure to meet you (via the Weekly) and to be part of the UNLV team. I am new to research/grants; so if you say something and I look like a deer caught in headlights, that is the reason. In my past life, I worked with UNLV's biggest rival (UNR). My background is in healthcare IT, but I am ready for this new Cayuse challenge. I cannot wait to work and learn from each one of you. Feel free to share your tips and tricks with me. Welcome Ann we are excited to have you on the OSP team!
