CONFERENCES, WORKSHOPS, & CLASSES

1) Contracts and Grants is holding an Administration Workshop, October 17, 2001, 8:30 am to Noon, Room 282 J.W. Reitz Union. If you are responsible for your department's post-award contract and grant administration or are a Principal Investigator, you may wish to attend this comprehensive workshop. Attendance is particularly encouraged for staff new to the administration of contracts and grants. This program will review the guidelines for contract and grant administration and what you need to know to administer your contracts and grants in compliance with the agency rules, Cost Accounting Standards, OMB A-21 and university policies. Please contact Alicia Fowler at 392-1235 x615 or afowler@ufl.edu for reservations. http://fa.ufl.edu/cg/training/

(This program presents the same material as the C & G training in March 2001 and October 2000. You are welcome to attend as often as you like as a refresher, but you need to be aware the information will be the same.)
2) A short course, "Extreme Ethics: Unusually Difficult Challenges in Epidemiology and Human Subjects Research", is scheduled for Oct. 18- 20, 2001 in Miami. A copy of the program may be downloaded at http://cme.med.miami.edu/symposia/

3) Cost Sharing for Principal Investigator's presented by Contracts and Grants and Division of Sponsored Research. This workshop is specifically for the Principal Investigators (PIs). We will discuss the new categories of cost sharing (mandatory, voluntary committed and voluntary uncommitted), what you need to consider when preparing a proposal and what must be done after the award is made. Brian Prindle from Division of Sponsored Research and Suzanne Sindledecker from Contracts & Grants will make the presentation. The workshop is expected to last 45-60 minutes depending on the number of questions asked. Please contact Alicia Fowler at 392- 1235 x615 or afowler@ufl.edu for reservations. http://fa.ufl.edu/cg/training/
