Everyone who has a Cayuse account may want to have a Professional Profile. By having a Professional Profile this will allow you to select Users by name rather than username when assigning permissions for Professional Profiles and proposals within Cayuse. If you are not a named person on a grant application all you will need to include in your profile is your name, institutional association and Dept./Division/Title. <>- top - UCSF NEWS Significant Changes to the Regulations for Shipping Biological Materials The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) have made significant changes to the regulations for shipping biological material. The classification system for Division 6.2 material has been revised from the current four- tiered risk group system to a two-tiered system (Category A and Category B). These changes have been incorporated into the Office of Environmental Health and Safety [<https://www.researchonline.ucsf.edu>online safe shipping training. ] If you have any question regarding the new shipping regulation, please contact your DSA or Peili Zhu at 514-2824. <>- top - New Introduction to Sponsored Research Class Available Now on WebCT The New Introduction to Sponsored Research Class is now available on WebCT. The class is free, and students can self- register at [<http://cit.ucsf.edu>http://cit.ucsf.edu. ] This class is designed for those new to research administration, and covers basic fundamentals of the research process. <>- top - New Effort Reporting System Coming Soon to UCSF In the next few weeks, UCSF will be replacing our 25-year-old paper PAR process with a new on-line Effort Reporting System (ERS). Effort Reporting is a process mandated by the federal government to verify the effort of employees who work on federally-funded grants and contracts. The new Effort Reporting System was designed for UC by the five major research campuses and the UC Office of the President. All five campuses will have implemented this system by the end of 2007. The UCSF ERS implementation is being led by the Program Management Office. To date, the PMO team has presented ERS in 45 faculty meetings attended by 800+ faculty and staff. Department administrators completed mandatory online training last week and are ready to begin facilitating department staff and faculty through the process. What does ERS mean to you? If you are a PI on a federally-funded grant, you will likely be responsible for certifying your own effort report and those of other employees who work on your grant(s). If you have an Academic title, but are not a PI, your department administrators will determine whether you will certify your own effort report or have it certified by the PI. You will be receiving information from the PMO and your department administrators about how to access the online system and manage the certification process. Questions? If you have questions about ERS, please contact Deanna Geddie in the Program Management Office at <>- top - Do you know about the Readability Checker in Microsoft Word? Microsoft Word has a function with which you can obtain "Readability Statistics" on your documents. This could prove to be a useful timesaver and a way to avoid return for revision of documents submitted to the Office of Research, such as: - Consent Forms - Objectives statements - Proposals To activate this tool, simply turn on "Show Readability Statistics" under the Tools -> Spelling & Grammar -> Options tab; you can then obtain useful readability statistics on your documents. <>- top - Millions of Dollars of new Department of Defense Funding Opportunities There are many new funding opportunities posted to the Contracts and Grants Website.

In Limited Submission Programs, the sponsor restricts the number of applications or proposals a campus can submit to the agency. The guidelines for these programs require institutions to screen pre-proposals or nominations to determine which applications will be submitted for competition.
