I was contacted by the UK Vice President for research, Dr. Lisa Cassis, to be one of only three faculty members to help identify issues related to OSPA, RFA and general grant processes at UK. We met multiple times with Deloitte Consulting Services to discuss current processes, obstacles, and potential solutions to improve pre- and post- grant award service from UK OSPA and RFS. It is with great hope that grant many processes will improve for researchers and funding agencies due to suggestions from this review.
