NSM Virtual Suggestion Box Responses

Suggestions submitted through the NSM Virtual Suggestion Box are reviewed by college leadership and considered as part of ongoing planning, priority setting, and decision-making across the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

Below is a curated list of suggestions and responses - click a suggestion to view the response - shared for transparency with all NSM faculty and staff. Note that suggestions may be edited for clarity and content prior to posting.

The NSM Office of Research recommends holding a “kick-off” meeting upon receipt of a new award. This meeting should include the principal investigator, the department business administrator responsible for managing the award, and the research liaison officer who assisted with the application. The purpose is to review key topics such as: 1) Sponsor’s Notice of Award (NOA), 2) Program requirements, 3) Approved budget and justification, 4) Compliance obligations, 5) Reporting requirements.

Thank you for this suggestion. We can work to incorporate this service into our NSM Research Office. PIs are encouraged to request this meeting in case it is not proactively offered (yet) at the time of the award.
