The size and scope of research projects at 91探花 has grown over the years. Sponsor requirements often make the task of administering a grant or contract complex and confusing. Besides these issues, 91探花 has its own set of policies and procedures that need to be followed. Successful project administration and management is important to all the involved parties. If you are involved in administering a grant or contract (faculty or staff) and would like to discuss research project management, Dr. Robert Gilmour, vice-president of research, invites you to join him and the Research Services staff for lunch and a discussion about what you need as administrators in the way of information, training, and support. Location: Room 142, Bill and Denise Andrew Hall Date: Wednesday, February 20 Time: 11:30 am-1:00 pm Seating is limited, so please register by Wednesday, February 13 by contacting Janet Crowther, Research Services, jcrowther@upei.ca or call 628-4308.
