Tell RSO what you think about research policies, procedures and processes

Later this week, RSO will post a brief survey on its website soliciting feedback on the policies, procedures and processes governing research administration at the U of A. The questionnaire is a follow-up to recent focus groups that discussed the necessity for various types of research policies and administrative processes.

The questionnaire gives all researchers and research administrators at the U of A the opportunity to suggest or rate proposed solutions to these issues. Access the questionnaire from the home page of the RSO website until the end of April. Everyone can participate.
