Grant Admin News: Videoconference for Grants Administrators

[Research Services <Research_Services@orsa.uoregon.edu>]

This is a reminder to register for the live satellite broadcast of
"What Departmental Administrators Need to Know About Post-Award and Cost
Analysis."  ORSA has subscribed to this broadcast as a great opportunity
for faculty investigators and departmental grant administrators to learn
more about grant administration issues, from account set up through
close out. 
 
DATE/TIME:   Tuesday, September 24, 2002, 8:30 am to 12:30 pm PDT
LOCATION:     Studio A--Media Services, UO Knight Library
 
 
The broadcast is sponsored by the National Council of University
Research Administrators (NCURA) and has presenters from the University
of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and Harvard.  It will focus on
understanding the symbiotic relationship between departments and
research administration offices. 
 
Typically, the university pre-award office "determines the fate" for the
post-award and cost analysis personnel. In order to work seemlessly (and
avoid problems and pitfalls), experience suggests that we could all
benefit from understanding the critical components of each other's
functions and operations. This workshop will begin with "account set up"
and go all the way through "account close out" and include what grant
administrators should know about the mechanics of the facilities and
administrative (F&A) rate, cost sharing, effort reporting, the Cost
Accounting Standards, financial reporting, cash management, cost
transfers and post auditing. 
 
This workshop is recommended for academic department administrators who
work on proposal development and pre- and post-award issues in their
departments.
