Dear Faculty, I did not want this list to get lost in the email I just sent announcing the two RSCs assignment to specific departments, and given notice of new Post Award office. Pasted below, and attached as an excel file, is a list of who you can contact for assistance with specific business/fiscal and proposal/reporting functions related to research activities. Many of the business functions listed below are those performed by staff in the RSC, though, so you may find this list answers (or raises) questions related to the RSC and what they do, and which you may want to be aware of if you are attending the open house meeting of the RSCs tomorrow.
