********* ANNOUNCEMENT **********

The Office for Research has developed a new process for obtaining institutional cost share support. The process will henceforth be handled by the Office for Sponsored Research (instead of the Office for Research Development), and it will be managed by Kelly Morrison, Cost Share Officer.  The process has undergone significant revisions and we are pleased to announce that the revised process for obtaining institutional support is now posted on the OSR web page:
http://www.research.northwestern.edu/osr/costshare.html

The website contains several documents related to cost share including a revised Process of Obtaining Institutional Support, as well as a visual snapshot of this process; a revised OSR-EZ; a template letter of institutional commitment; and post-award project establishment process for projects involving institutional commitment.  Additionally, the process for obtaining a letter of institutional support with no measurable commitment and a template for a letter of support are available.  Any questions regarding these processes should be directed to Kelly Morrison ([log in to unmask]).
