Early 2011
The Research Administration Work Group has completed its high level design which has been approved and endorsed by the Senior Work Group, the OE Coordinating Committee and the respective Deans. The work group will continue to serve in an advisory capacity and the two subgroups will continue to work on specific issues.
The focus of Research Administration is now transitioning toward implementation. In order to carry out these evolving responsibilities most effectively, John Plotts and Jeff Bluestone have formed a new Implementation team. The work of the team is primarily to drive the implementation of the new service delivery model, to report the progress and issues to the OECC, provide oversight for the related technology, ensure effective communication and extend outreach to faculty to incorporate their recommendations.
