Ask the Expert
“If I’m teaching (or learning) in a LfA classroom for a long time, how do I get a drink?”
Answer from Judy Platt, MD, Chair of BU’s Medical Advisory Group: “Faculty can step out of the room to a designated eating/drinking location for a drink break and encourage students to do the same, or use a straw to insert under their mask if needed.”
If faculty have any work-related, non-medical questions related to COVID-19, contact BU’s COVID-19 Support Line at covidhelp@bu.edu or call 617-358-4990 weekdays between 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Enhanced Support for Faculty Seeking Foundation Grants
PD will process the budget, budget justifications, proposal summary form (PSF) and signature collections, and direct faculty to FR for assistance in writing non-scientific sections and editing project narrative.
Faculty seeking assistance in identifying and applying to foundations are encouraged to reach out directly to FR. Likewise, PD will remain BUSM’s primary source of assistance with government proposals.
Questions? Contact Julia Huntsman, Director, BUSM Proposal Development (jhunts@bu.edu), or David Gillerman, Director, BUMC Foundation Relations (dgillerm@bu.edu).
