Research Administration Tip Sheets
As part of the Research Enhancement program, we are defining and creating a procedure manual for the research administration process at ASU that includes functions performed by ORSPA staff, Research Advancement staff and Investigators. It is expected that the first draft of the manual will be available this summer (2008). As a supplement to the manual, we are launching an effort to release periodic tip sheets on those topics that are in most need of immediate clarification or definition. These tip sheets will be made available on this page for future reference until they are incorporated into the procedure manual.
If you have ideas for future topics, please contact Tamara Deuser at
