Research Fund Announcement - Autumn 2009

The Office of Research is currently working on a new Royalty Research Fund
(RRF) proposal submission process that will require all proposals to be
submitted using SAGE and an eGC1 starting this fall. System development and
testing is proceeding throughout the next few months and new detailed
application instructions will be posted on the RRF website in mid-August; we
will send out another announcement once the new materials are available.
Please note that these upcoming submission changes do not affect your
ability to currently prepare your description of research and budget pages.

RRF proposals for the fall round are due on Monday, September 28, by 5:00
PM.

The duties of the RRF program chair are currently transitioning from me to
Professor Judy Ramey, Human Centered Design and Engineering; Judy will
officially begin serving as chair on September 16, and we are thrilled that
she has agreed to lead the program.

Do not hesitate to contact the RRF administrative staff if you have questions; new applicants should contact Peter Wilsnack, (685-9316) and existing awardees should contact Barbara Thompson, (616-9089).
