Hello, I hope you are doing well and enjoying a more typical fall semester. Although many continue to work remotely, the return of in-person instruction and campus events has brought with it the energy and enthusiasm that normally mark the fall semester. Whether it be the beauty of the changing leaves, the excitement of sporting events, or the heightened sense of possibility that the start of the academic year brings, fall is a special time of year at MSU. Whether your office is on campus or remote, I hope you have a chance to reconnect with the things you enjoy about the season.
This issue of the SPA Newsletter provides information on new processes and requirements, including an update on the procedure for processing Non-Resident Professional Service Contracts (NRAPSCs) and an article with information on overdue NSF project reports. This issue also introduces some resources that we developed for the research community at MSU, including new webpages with guidance related to Current and Pending/Other Support Requirements, Responsible Conduct of Research Training Requirements, and Fellowships. I hope you find these updates and resources useful.
As usual, this issue also announces the Fall 2021 Unit Research Administrator Spotlight Award recipients. Our offices are proud to sponsor this award and we are grateful for the opportunity to recognize the incredible work being done in the units. I extend my sincere appreciation to the Fall 2021 Unit RA Spotlight awardees, along with all research administrators at MSU. Your contributions are a vital part of supporting MSU’s research mission.
