Faculty Grant Writing Institute
MU's Office of Research will sponsor the seventh Faculty Grant Writing Institute this summer. The Institute assists faculty in developing high quality extramural grant proposals in order to yield more grant awards. The small group setting of the Institute enables individualized attention and informal conversations that develop positive relationships among participants and between the participants and the various grants personnel who support them. This year's application process reflects the following changes from previous years:
- No stipends or proposal development budgets will be provided to participants.
- No cost match will be required of the participants' divisions and/or departments.
- Participants will not be required to devote full-time effort to the Institute during the month of June.
The instructional and networking aspects of the Institute will remain unchanged. The fundamental difference will be that participation in the Institute will no longer be coupled with funding and protected research time during June. We hope that these changes will make it easier for chairs and deans to support faculty participation in the Institute and that the increased flexibility as to when the proposal development tasks and preliminary research work are done will make it easier for faculty members to participate. Questions regarding the Institute or the application process should be referred to Mary Licklider at 884-6438 or lickliderm@missouri.edu.

Effective Proposal Development (Mar. 11, 2008)
Complex Agreements (June 10, 2008)
We are hearing more and more the term translational research - how research results are translated into products or public use. Getting research results from the bench to the public can take several paths and involve several types of agreements outside of the initial supporting research award. These may include non-disclosure agreements, teaming agreements, material transfer agreements, clinical trial agreements, and license agreements with start-up companies. The negotiation and management of these agreements usually involves some unique challenges for research administrators. This program will focus on these agreements and areas of risk, accounting issues, institutional and individual conflict of interest, protection of human subjects, effort certification for investigators, publications, and the special challenges you face in administering all these issues in collaborations with multiple parties and a multi-site clinical trial program. Whether you are involved as the prime institution or as the subawardee we all need to understand and work through the wide range of issues. The faculty for this program are seasoned pros who will share their experiences in successfully managing these unique and often challenging agreements.

Good Customer Service for Research Administrators: How to Support the Research Endeavor at Your Institution (Sept. 9, 2008)
With new demands emerging from sponsors, faculty and institutional management on a daily basis, how do Research Administrators define Good Customer Service?
Our panel of experts will examine who is the Customer and what constitutes Good Customer Service. They will look at the roles of the Central Sponsored Programs office and the role of the Departmental Administrator. The faculty will explore the elements of customer service that works both ways between central and departmental research administrators, and how this relationship is critical to good service to the ultimate customer: the PI. They will discuss approaches as to how to communicate to your customers in a way that lets them know that you are both working toward a common goal. Some of the elements of customer service that will be covered include speed, accuracy, transparency, politeness, and compliance. The Sponsor as the Customer will also be examined as good communication is critical to insuring that this customer is best served - while keeping your researchers content.
