DER is adding new tools to further enhance efficiency and customer experience…
Over the next four weeks DER will be adding additional tools to increase DER’s ability to efficiently serve the faculty throughout the proposal development process. The first new tool will be a new remote access network folder tool. A secure network URL will be sent to the project PI for each project in which he/she will have the ability to upload, view, and navigate the files related to that particular proposal. Access to this folder and the ability to transfer files will assist in reducing the number of file transfer emails. Faculty will also have immediate access to proposal file documents related to that specific proposal. As time progresses, faculty will also be able to view past proposals and will be able to access past forms from previous submissions. DER is also working on space within the shared drive to provide sample documents to assist faculty as they apply to sponsors for the first time. The structure of the shared drives is being developed and DER is excited to incorporate this important tool and further increase our ability to efficiently serve our faculty.
DER will provide accelerated support for any COVID-19 proposals that have short-term deadlines…
As we navigate this chapter of the COVID-19 story, DER recognizes many time sensitive research opportunities related to this topic that are quickly becoming available. MSU College of Engineering faculty are a critical part to create solutions for many of these challenges related to this pandemic. To assist DER will provide accelerated support for any COVID-19 proposals that may have short-term deadlines. Please see new opportunities related to COVID-19 posted at https://www.egr.msu.edu/der/secure-page/coronavirus-funding-opportunities.
