ORIS Recognized for Outstanding Service

In August 2010, the Faculty Council on Research recognized Jim Kresl, Assistant Vice Provost and Director of ORIS, for the extraordinary service he and the entire ORIS staff provided in meeting the challenges of the 2009 ARRA submission opportunity.

In particular, the Council recognized ORIS for:

• Effectively partnering with other support offices to deliver clear, timely communication to the UW research community on ARRA procedures and deadlines for submissions.
• Negotiating an agreement with the WA state Office of Financial Management and the Federal Office of Management and Budget to enable batch submissions of UW applications rather than time-consuming individual submittals.
• Designing and generating critical ARRA reports required by the UW, the Governor’s Office, and Federal agencies.

Congratulations to the ORIS Team!
