Introducing the Proposal Playbook
The Office of Sponsored Research (OSR), Operational Excellence team, and the Office of the Vice-Chancellor for Research (OVCR) collaborated on initiatives to improve and streamline the management of externally sponsored research programs at the University. As communicated with a memo in late Spring, one of the results of this partnership is a new tool/resource called Research Playbooks.
Research Playbooks are an online resource intended to support researchers and research administrators in managing all stages of the award lifecycle – from proposal to closeout. The first Playbook to be released is the Proposal Playbook.
Benefits of Playbooks
- Provides resources for research administration and management
- Improves understanding of all stages of award lifecycle and related roles & responsibilities in research
- Guides and defines processes to improve interactions between central compliance offices and departments.
