On March 24th through March 26th, RASP will facilitate an external review of grant and contract processes on campus. The purpose of the review is to identify strategies for making the pre- and post-award processes more seamless for Project Investigators and Directors. Dr. Peter Kasvinsky, Associate Provost for Research and Dean of Graduate Studies and Research at Youngstown State University, will serve as the external consultant. RASP staff will be contacting current and past Project Investigators and Co-Investigators to encourage their participation in the evaluation process. If you would like to participate in a focus group or individual consultation, please contact Tammy Kunze at ext. 5275 or tammy.kunze@mnsu.edu.
During the month of March, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (RASP) will honor faculty and staff who applied for external funding from March 1, 2007 through February 15, 2008. Project Investigators and Co-Investigators will be recognized during college and divisional receptions.
On March 17 and 18, 2008, an evaluation team from the Higher Learning Commission will visit Minnesota State Mankato to evaluate the institution's readiness to offer the proposed Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Educational Leadership and the proposed Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in School Psychology.
