class=827183314-02082007>The PUI Neighborhood has a committee dedicated to
organization and communication to the PUI members of NCURA. One of the items is
to submit a content article by November 16 for the NCURA newsletter. We
n</SPAN>eed some ideas for the next article (the voluntary uncommitted cost
share topic seems to be a strong contender) and to find someone to volunteer to
write it.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =

class=827183314-02082007>I will be happy to write such an article if you will
tell me what you do at your campus about voluntarily uncommitted cost sharing on
grant projects. If you do such a thing.</SPAN></DIV>

class=827183314-02082007>Another thing the committee sponsors is t</SPAN>he
Online Chat<SPAN class=827183314-02082007>, which is</SPAN> scheduled for
9/26 at 2:00 PM<SPAN class=827183314-02082007>. We</SPAN> will need some
“filler” questions or “leader” questions in case no one posts questions on the
chat. By having canned questions, it will allow the chat to go on.
Fran and Courtney can also “can” some answers to those questions.
The advantage is when NCURA posts the transcripts to the online
chat. <SPAN class=827183314-02082007>The chat is about setting up an office
of sponsored programs. Please send me ASAP your questions about what you think
is most important to know. Such as, how do you negotiate an adequate budget?
What types of communication are best to recruit cooperation from the faculty?
What kinds of training impact the faculty most effectively? What can you do
to prepare for time crunches? </SPAN>See <A

(we also sent out a PowerPoint prior to the online chat that has lots of
information, but this is not a requirement of the chat).<o:p></o:p></SPAN>
