The size and scope of research projects at UPEI has grown over the years.
Sponsor requirements often make the task of administering a grant or
contract complex and confusing. Besides these issues, UPEI has its own set
of policies and procedures that need to be followed. Successful project
administration and management is important to all the involved parties.
If you are involved in administering a grant or contract (faculty or staff)
and would like to discuss research project management, Dr. Robert Gilmour,
vice-president of research, invites you to join him and the Research
Services staff for lunch and a discussion about what you need as
administrators in the way of information, training, and support.
Location: Room 142, Bill and Denise Andrew Hall
Date: Wednesday, February 20
Time: 11:30 am-1:00 pm
Seating is limited, so please register by Wednesday, February 13 by
contacting Janet Crowther, Research Services, jcrowther@upei.ca or call 628-4308.
Join us this afternoon (Thursday) from 4-6:30 pm in AVC Lecture Theatre A for
a screening of the film CHASING ICE: an eye-opening documentary about
climate change. A discussion will follow, led by Adam Fenech, director of
UPEI's Climate Research Lab, and Doug Brown, director
of Agriculture and Food Security for World Vision International.
