Deadlines are much closer than they appear when factoring in university closures! Office of Sponsored Programs' Personnel ChangesEarly in October Liz Webb, Grants Specialist in the Office of Sponsored Programs, accepted a new position outside of JMU in public administration and it is with mixed feelings that we bid her farewell. It is always sad to lose a dedicated and hardworking member of our team but we are excited for her step up in the next journey of her career and we wish her the best of luck. Formerly the Grant Technician for the Office of Sponsored Programs, Megan Resch has now since accepted the position as a Grants Specialist. Her training as a Grant Technician and her background in hospitality and customer service has prepared her well for this step up and she is excited to make new connections with principal investigators and administrators in the Research and Scholarship community at JMU. The Office of Sponsored Programs is starting to begin our search for a new Grant Technician. 2017 Provost Award for Excellence in Research and ScholarshipJMU faculty, now is your chance to recognize a colleague for her or his exceptional, scholarly achievements! Nominations will be accepted through February 13th for the 2017 Provost Award for Excellence in Research and Scholarship. This award recognizes a faculty member who has demonstrated significant achievement in research, scholarship, or creative work. Detailed nomination instructions can be found on the award website. Self-nominations are also welcome. |

Developing a STEADFAST grant budget enables an organization to accomplish the program objectives with a given amount of money; simplifies the grants management process; and ensures that the proposed budget will pass the scrutiny of federal agencies. To make it easier to remember, such a budget is one that addresses a Spending schedule, is Task-oriented, is Evaluative, is Accurate, is Dependable, is Flexible, Allocates resources, is Sustainable and is Team-oriented. |
