The Office of Sponsored Programs is maintaining a webpage where you can find useful updates, agency guidance, and other resources related to COVID-19. This page can be found at http://osp.gatech.edu/coronavirus.
The Office of International Initiatives has announced the launch of the Georgia Tech Guide for Responsible International Activities, a new online resource regarding guidelines, policies, and procedures around the Institute’s global activities and partnerships.
Workday is going live on July 1, 2019, for Financial Management at Georgia Tech. We have assembled some resources that are available to support you during the transition. Your feedback is appreciated and your questions are valuable in building our FAQs.
Does your research project involve controlled unclassified information (CUI)? Compliance requirements in accordance with DFARS/NIST 800-171 include training requirements. (See our previous article on "What is Controlled Unclassified Information?")
The U.S. National Archives website includes a section with CUI Training Tools, including links to training modules by topic, videos, powerpoints and more.
OSP is now offering new faculty lunches on what we strive to be a monthly basis. These lunches are aimed at introducing our services to new hires and discussing processes and procedures for submitting proposals, transferring awards, and managing projects.
Please forward this opportunity to any interested faculty members. All lunches are held in the Ferst Place dining room in the Student Center.

In asking for identification of “other support” in a grant application, a funding agency’s interests include, but are not limited to, identifying and eliminating duplication of funding for specific budgetary items, understanding the investigator’s capacity to complete projects (e.g., effort available), protect national security or economic interests, and assess potential conflicts of interest.
When Georgia Tech answers a call for proposals to solve a public problem, such as a national security initiative, development of transportation or its infrastructure, medical research or an industry-specific challenge, certain direct costs associated with the project at hand are easily identified and assigned to a project budget submitted with the proposal. However, other expenses support the aggregate of research and development at Georgia Tech and therefore are not as easily tracked in the budget of a single project.
Greetings Colleagues! Here are some of the upcoming dates for OSP outreach and office hours. These are additional ways for you to receive one-on-one support for your proposals and research administration needs.
We would also like to announce two additional office hours dates centered around NSF CAREER Proposals. These will be held in the RAB Seminar Room—come work on your CAREER proposals with your NSF Contracting Officers available to answer any questions you might have.
Interested in more professional development but have a limited travel budget?
