Training Begins on RAPSS; Mandatory Use for All New NIH Proposals Begins with Proposals Due June 5
Training on the new Research Administration and Proposal Submission System (RAPSS) begins next week. Sessions will be conducted on all three campuses through April 28. Initially, RAPSS will be limited to submission of new grant proposals to the National Institutes of Health, starting April 29. All faculty members who plan to submit a new proposal to NIH must use RAPSS and should notify their grant specialist immediately. Faculty members planning to use RAPSS should attend a training session at least two weeks before the proposal due date. Read more here.
RAPSS training will be led by Rosie Mendoza McCamery, who recently joined the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs as its first education training specialist. Her primary focus initially will be on the RAPSS implementation, but she will be responsible for a variety of training programs for grant submission and associated work. Read more here.

Facilities & Equipment Guide: You Can Update Your Entry Online, or Make a New One
The Office of Research and Economic Development has created an online guide to research equipment, facilities and services to promote collaboration among both internal and external researchers. This continually updated directory is intended to raise awareness of research capabilities at Rutgers, and to streamline knowledge transfer and collaboration. There's a version of the Guide for Rutgers Affiliates and a version of the Guide for Those Not Affiliated with Rutgers. If you wish to add a facility, equipment or service to the guide, log in here. If you need more information or assistance, or need to update an existing entry, please send a note to [email protected].
