| Your gateway to innovation
If you know me, you know my tagline “Innovation lies at the intersection of disciplines” and that I spend a great deal of time exploring this concept. This exploration aligns with serving as vice president for research, but for me it’s much deeper rooted.
Innovation has always been at the core of my professional career. |

New reporting tool launched for awards, proposals
The Office of Research recently launched the Sponsored Project Activity Report List View for faculty to report expenditures, awards, and proposals. This new spin-off of the existing Sponsored Project Activity Report allows you to select a college/unit or department and view a corresponding list of investigators with year-over-year activities in expenditures, awards, and proposals.
New Faculty Offer Letter
A new step is being added to faculty offer letter templates, prompting the department head or hiring authority to complete this short form for candidates who may be conducting research at UGA. This form should be completed while drafting the offer letter or before. Completing this form
will notify the Office of Research of prospective new hires earlier in the process, which will allow us to provide more proactive and consultative support to departments. Additional information on this new process is available on this webpage.
