Assigned Time for Institutional
Review Board for Protection of Human Subjects - $59,928
Last year, when the
Academic Senate recommended the revised charge of the Institutional
Review Board (IRB) for Protection of Human Subjects for
President Maxson's approval, the Academic Senate recognized
the large time commitment made by the IRB members in order
to properly review the volume of proposals received from
across campus. The Academic Senate's suggestion was to provide
some assigned time, or its equivalent, in recognition of
the large workload associated with service by IRB's 13 faculty
and community members.

Grant Budget Specialist
- $43,000
Currently, faculty and
staff members who need assistance with budget development
for their proposed (externally funded) grants and contracts
are unable to receive the level of assistance once available.
In large part, the reduction in service may be due to the
high and extensive turnover of personnel who have the responsibility
for developing budgets for proposed grants and contracts.
At this time, many faculty and staff are frustrated with
the inability to secure budgetary assistance with their
proposals and to obtain information about the status of
their requests or/and grants. The request for a Grant Budget
Specialist is to address the pressing need for assistance
by faculty and staff for assistance to develop the budgets
needed to accomplish work described in their proposals for
external funding. In addition, a growing number of proposals
are being submitted to state agencies. The current grants
and contracts personnel are not familiar with budgetary
requirements of state agencies. The Grant Budget Specialist
would not only help faculty and staff in developing their
proposed budget for both federal and state agencies but
also reduce the number of offices a principal investigator
would need to go to secure the required approvals for the
finished proposal.
