Agenda Item 3: Old
business relating to funds granted must be spent by the end of the fiscal year,
June 30, 2005. Detrimental to
researchers and their financial needs.
Discussion:
1. In the
past, there had been some type of mechanism that by-passed this fiscal
restriction and apparently is no longer being offered.
2. Various
Schools and/or Departmental administrators may or may not be able to shift the
funds granted to other lines so the money does not have to be spent by the end
of the fiscal year.
Action
Taken:
The Vice –Chancellor will investigate this situation and
will report back to the Committee.
Agenda Item 4: Committee’s Schedule
Discussion:
1. Steve and
Mark briefly summarized for new members the process of reviewing the research
proposals.
2. It was decided that the Committee will meet
on Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m. in the Rawl Building.
3. Steve will email all Committee members the
meeting dates, keeping in mind that the first meeting will most likely be the
longest.
4. The VC Research’s office will provide
refreshments at all meetings. (Since our
meeting the Committee received the following message from Dr. Lehman: "Dr. John Lehman will provide the same
level of support that was provided last year for the Faculty
Senate Research and Creative Activities Committee.
$475.00 will be encumbered out of the VC's discretionary account.")
