ANNOUNCEMENT: EXPORT CONTROL AWARENESS TRAINING

In collaboration with Systemwide Export Control, UCR's Export Control Office is delighted to announce the launch of a new on-line training module as part of its local Export Compliance Program Plan (ECP), covering the following topics:


  *   Overview | Understand export control basics
  *   Research | Recognize what is covered under Fundamental Research Exclusion
  *   Risks | Identify export control risks related to your work
  *   International Shipping
  *   Biological Agents | What is and is not controlled
  *   International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
  *   Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
  *   Traveling Abroad

All UCR faculty, staff and students are encouraged to review the training module to remain informed on how U.S. export controls can affect university activities.

To access the new on-line training module, please log in to the Learning Management System (LMS) using the Single Sign-On (SSO) option at the following link:

Quarterly overview of the BSF and NSF-BSF programs

Dear Colleague,

Remaining optimistic regarding international travel, BSF is pleased to announce the resumption of the Prof. Rahamimoff Travel Grants for graduate students that are in an advanced stage of their PhD research. Submission of proposals through institutional research authorities is required. Deadline for submission at the BSF office is December 8, 2021. The Call for Proposals can be found here<https://links.responder.co.il/?lid=23576113&sid=379320571&k=47dbef3539e8c43ba97d5a8fb6d978c3>.

We also would like to draw your attention to a couple of points.

  *   US PIs should pay particular attention to the NSF requirement that collaborative proposals with Israeli PI(s) are identified as such by adding the prefix   NSF-BSF:   to the research title on the cover page.


  *   After submission of an NSF-BSF proposal, US PIs are advised to remind their Israeli collaborators of the requirement to submit the same proposal with Israeli budget details to BSF within one week of the NSF submission.


  *   Submissions to the NSF-BSF program require that the Israeli PI submit the NSF-BSF proposal using the BSF on line system. In the event that the NSF-BSF proposal exceeds 3MB and therefore fails to upload to the website, please send the file to Ms. Yael Dressler (yael at bsf.org.il<mailto:yael at bsf.org.il>) who will route your proposal internally.


  *   In parallel to NSF requirements, BSF now solicits abstracts for a general audience from Israeli PIs who have been awarded an NSF-BSF grant. We request that PIs convert their proposal abstract to a general abstract by the time they negotiate their amended budget with the BSF office Please be aware of this new requirement and make sure to send it to Ms. Yael Dressler (yael at bsf.org.il<mailto:yael at bsf.org.il>).
  *   Starting October 15th, all of the Materials programs will be open to receive submission throughout the year. Investigators are advised that the dates from April 15th to June 15th should, optimally, be avoided for submissions.

The guidelines for proposal preparation for BSF and NSF-BSF programs are slightly different. Please check our regulations for both BSF regular grants and for NSF-BSF grants on our website:

Research Administrators
Informative Noontime Collaboration
[cid:image002.png at 01D6D219.B9ACE720]
Collaborate ~ Communicate ~ Connect


Welcome back!  Please join Research Administrators INC on Monday, September 13th at Noon as we continue this academic year to walk through the life cycle of an award series, beginning with Part 1 of a 2-part series on
Award Monitoring / Award Management.  (Please note that each part is 2 hours in length.)

These two sessions will: (i) focus on award management strategies and techniques for both the central and departmental research administrators tasked with financial oversight of sponsored awards; (ii) focus on what to look for during award initiation and award closeout; and (iii) discuss strategies for how the research administrator can best support the PI during the period of performance to maximize award spending, while effectively managing risk. Furthermore, in this 2-part session will review some perennial hot topics such as cost transfers, subaward monitoring, cost sharing, and effective and efficient award closeouts.
Learning objectives:

  *   Participants will learn techniques for identifying higher risk awards and transactions and what documentation to put in place to support these costs (or when to transfer them off of the award) as well as an awareness of when to ask more questions.
  *   Participants will also be introduced to proactive award management strategies that, if applied during the life of the award, will support an efficient and timely closeout.

To receive the ZOOM link to this meeting, please register here<https://redit.ucr.edu/OrApps/Org/OrgEvents/Default.aspx?g=inc>
[cid:image010.jpg at 01D70151.7D9C1A00]


Note:  RA-INC will be going through this entire Life Cycle of the Award Series together;  however, those wishing to view the series at their own pace,
or those wishing to jump to a particular topic of interest, are able to do so now at their convenience via the new SPA training portal
located at https://research.ucr.edu/spa/training.
(A UCR NetID is required.)
