LAS Goldsheet Training
Tuesday, December 18
10:00 a.m. to Noon
1652 Gilman Hall
The new goldsheet model will go into effect January 2. Goldsheets now capture the data needed to distribute IDC revenues under the new budget model. The VPR office, as well as the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, has scheduled a training session to demonstrate how the goldsheet should be completed.
Department chairs, PIs, Co-PIs, grant coordinators and anyone that completes or reviews goldsheets should plan to attend this meeting. Presenters will have copies of the revised goldsheet and will perform a live demonstration using sample grant proposals. This will be an opportunity to ask questions about the new goldsheet layout.
For those unable to attend the December 18 meeting, another training session is scheduled for January 16 (time and location TBA). For more information about training sessions, contact Venita Currie at 4-3722 or vcurrie@iastate.edu.
