INTRODUCTION TO THE ORSSP The Office of Research Services and Sponsored Programs (ORSSP) facilitates faculty research by identifying funding sources, assisting in proposal development, reviewing and endorsing proposals, negotiating agreements, accepting and authorizing awards, and interpreting guidelines on compliance with agency and University policies. The last ten years have seen drastic changes in the proposal submission and grant/contract award processes. Sponsor efforts to go paperless have led to a tremendous increase in electronic submissions and award documentation, replacing costly use of shipping out-going, overnight mailings, that often included multiple copies of proposals. SERVICE TO UA The ORSSP functions as a service unit within The University of Akron. This office has made significant efforts to reach out to faculty and staff to educate them about sponsored programs, increase notification to faculty of grant opportunities, and increase communication and networking among faculty members. To that end, over the last several years, the ORSSP has implemented the following services and programs to the UA community: o In an effort to increase transparency and inform the University community, in 2005-2006 the ORSSP began collecting and reporting both proposal submissions and award dollars, by percentage of credit. o In 2006, the ORSSP began distributing daily Opportunity Briefs. This daily email is sent out to faculty members to provide information about selected funding opportunities as well as special announcements. o In 2009-2010 the ORSSP implemented an annual reception to gather faculty receiving external funding from the previous year and new faculty to The University of Akron community. This event serves in both recognition and appreciation of the active research faculty members. The event also allows for new faculty members to network with established research faculty. Many introductions have been made with the goal of creating future research collaborations. o In April, 2009, the ORSSP hosted NIH Day, an all-day regional conference held at Quaker Square for nearly 200 attendees from as far away as West Virginia and Kentucky. The event featured five representatives from different directorates and departments, who offered a variety of presentations throughout the day. The 16
