DAWG professional development program returns
The ÌÒ»¨Ö±²¥ State University Office of Research Development is pleased to announce the return of the DAWG program.
The Departmental Administrator's Working Group (DAWG) is a year-long professional development and training opportunity for unit-level support personnel who have responsibilities related to sponsored projects. DAWG members are guided through the proposal lifecycle and grants administration processes to gain a better understanding of pre and post award functions.
Topics include how the different offices under ORED work together to support faculty, budgeting, proposal preparation, post-award management, ÌÒ»¨Ö±²¥ and federal regulations and sponsor priorities, as well as further career development opportunities. The class meets for two hours once a month for the academic year.
The deadline for applications is Aug. 15. Applicants will be notified by email of their acceptance into the 2023-2024 class.
