Carol Mitton @ February 19, 2008
ORSP is now offering training for the PI’s, business managers, and anyone else interested in learning about the research process. Last fall a new position was filled - Carol Mitton was hired as the Development Coordinator. In January, a lunch chat was held to discuss what ORSP can do for you. An information session on General Fund Cost Share was held on February 19th and 20th in the Lindy Boggs Amphitheater.
