Export Control Training Seminar
Dr. Susan Sedwick, Associate Vice President for Research and Director of the Office of Sponsored Projects at the University of Texas at Austin will be presenting a seminar on export control regulations.
All faculty members are strongly encouraged to attend, especially those who receive funding from the Departments of Defense or Homeland Security, any of the nation's intelligence agencies and/or military contractors.
On Wednesday, September 26, the Office of General Counsel is sponsoring a training seminar on export control and conflicts of interest. The seminar is scheduled for 9:30 - 11:30 a.m., and it will be repeated from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. A continental breakfast will be provided at the morning session, and lunch will be provided at the afternoon session.
Dr. Sedwick is an expert in the field of export control, having worked on such matters at the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma. As many are aware, the restrictions, limitations and controls associated with export control have significantly increased in recent years, and the seminar will provide a foundation for understanding these items, making sure you do not run afoul of them and the consequence of doing so. Members of the General Counsel's Office will be presenting the conflicts of interest portion of the seminar.

Reminder - FastLane Reduces The Use of Social Security Numbers
Currently, co-PIs may be added to a proposal coversheet by a PI entering either the co-PI's email address or SSN. As of August 4th, only email address or NSF ID will be accepted.
Existing FastLane users will NOT be affected, except for those adding a co-PI to a proposal coversheet.
For additional information see: https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/fastlane.jsp;jsessionid=a830bf037bda56734a5c?t=0&idx=0
As a faculty or staff member, there is not a registration process. However, you must download the PureEdge viewer software and a grant application in order to apply for a grant. To fill out a grant application, you will need to download the PureEdge Viewer, which is currently available for Windows users: http://www.grants.gov/DownloadViewer.
If you are a “Non-Windows User”, go to: http://www.grants.gov/MacSupport .
Note that grants.gov is NOT a web-based system like some other systems. Instead, you will fill out your grant application offline as though you were using a new word processor (called PureEdge Viewer) on your own computer. PureEdge Viewer is a Windows application that you must install on your computer. If you do not have a Windows PC, then you should follow the link below for “Non-Windows User”. When you are done entering all of your information, you will send the completed grant application file to OSRP.
Once you have completed the package, you need to send it to the Office of Sponsored Research and Programs for review and submission. If you need assistance from OSRP, we will additional time (in addition to the internal deadlines) to complete your package.
Due to restrictions by various sponsors, we can no longer publicize detailed information regarding awards. In order to give you an idea of what our “numbers” are in regards to proposals and awards, we can provide you with this information.
