Office of Research (OR) is pleased to announce the launch of our new website
located at <a href="http://or.ucr.edu/">http://or.ucr.edu</a>. The new
website utilizes a tabbed interface and side bar menu to make navigation easier
for users and a search engine to help quickly locate information. Other
features include:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>To
ensure a smooth transition to the new site, our old URL (<a
href="http://ora.ucr.edu/">http://ora.ucr.edu</a>) has been rerouted to the new
website. This is a temporary arrangement due to the wide proliferation of
the old URL across many UCR and non-UCR websites, as well as its use in various
electronic systems such as PAMIS. In the future, an interim (forwarding)
page will be displayed that will redirect users to the new website.
However, we recommend that users book mark the new website now for their
convenience. Users should also be aware that if they have book marked a
page under the old site (e.g. <a
href="http://www.ora.ucr.edu/OraRoot/ORA/Forms.htm">http://www.ora.ucr.edu/OraRoot/ORA/Forms.htm</a>),
they will be presented with a Help Page that incorporates the search engine and
important navigation links to the new website.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>We
intend to further develop the new website over time. Toward that end, we
would greatly appreciate receiving feedback from users regarding such issues as
content, format, navigation, reports and tools made available through the website.
