Your Participation is Requested
Faculty and research staff at Rutgers received an email last month from Michael Gower, senior vice president for finance, and Christopher Molloy, senior vice president for research and economic development, about a survey. "As we review the Rutgers research administration organizations, business processes and systems, we recognize the importance of learning from Rutgers faculty and staff about your firsthand experience and views on these topics," Molloy and Gower wrote. To that end, Rutgers is conducting a survey about research administration operations. The survey takes only about 12-15 minutes to complete and all responses will remain confidential. Read more here.
