  3. Theme: Rewards Impact = Greater Opportunity to “build” = creative Many hats = never boring Personal Satisfaction of impacting undergraduates

  4. Theme: Faculty/PIs • Grantsmanship/experience of faculty • Trust: most people just want “right” answer from you (count on you as expert) • Teaching load & time restrictions • Relative priority placed on scholarly work/grant work • Dispersed duties to PI: Culture of PIs doing things like going directly to sponsor for administrative things • Types of programs PUIs often apply to can be very different (lots of odd-ball things)

  5. Theme: Policies & Procedures • What is Present? What is Not? Prioritizing. • Who does reporting? • Which reports need to be submitted for each grant? • Education about policies and procedures, and their importance? • Who has signing and submission authority?  • Is there a policy approval process?  • Which assurances are in place and who is responsible for updating them and maintaining them? • How do you work within Institutional Structure to create P&P? • Subawards: who generates, where do they live, who monitors? 

  6. Theme:Organizational/Structural Issues • Tension between desire to “grow grants” and the infrastructure needed. • Who is clearing the path for you? • Who do you report to within the organizational structure, and how does that impact your work? • Approval/decision making process for YOUR work? How do you get buy-in for what you think should be a priority? • Tenure & Promotion Guidelines support research? • Unionized faculty? • “loosely” related committee work

  7. Theme:Personal Characteristics/Qualities • Tolerance for some amount of “muddiness” while you get things situated • Creative drive • Ability to wear many hats, often simultaneously • Ability to create a vision for a campus that may not fully understand where it is heading. • Helps to like policy development • Ability to balance “we need to do this differently” with compassion for how uncomfortable that can be for others. • Ability to triage
