College
Research
Administrators,
<b><span style="color: red;">VERY IMPORTANT, <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 4.5in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><b><span
style="font-size: 12pt; color: red;">REVIEW INFORMATION <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 4.5in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><b><span
style="font-size: 12pt; color: red;">CAREFULLY</span></b><span
style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">June 30, 2010 is
the end of
the next quarter for ARRA reporting and as we did last quarter, we will
be
providing the <u>required</u> quarterly reporting on your ARRA award
to
federalreporting.gov. This report is due by July 10, 2010.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The purpose of this
email is
to remind you of this reporting requirement and to request that you
send your
2,000 character report to me no later than <b><span style="color: red;">Wednesday,
June 30, 2010</span></b>…..<u>earlier would be appreciated</u>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If you are
travelling this
summer, please make arrangements for this report to be submitted by the
deadline. You can have a post-doc complete the report or you can
submit
it before you travel. Also, please check your email, if possible,
for any updates from me or your sponsor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Some of you may
have received
notices from your sponsor’s program officer reminding you of the due
date for
this quarter. Again, like last quarter, there will be no date
extensions and we must submit the report on time. If you do receive
a notice from your sponsor, please forward those notices to me
regarding the
quarterly reports and I will review them to make sure that nothing in
the
sponsor’s reporting schema has changed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Attached is the
document form
that you should use for this quarterly report. The form helps you stay
within the character limit. Please use this document, which
counts the characters for you or if it does not work for you, you can
just provide
the information to me in an email, whichever is easiest for
you. The center part of the form will not allow you to
put more than 2,000 characters into it. Open this form and
save it to your desktop, complete the information, and send it back to
me by
the deadline of June 30, 2010 (or before). Some of you are
fortunate to have more than one ARRA funded project. <u>Please
complete
one form for each project</u>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thank you for your
help with
this reporting requirement and if you have any questions or need
further
information, please do not hesitate to call me at ext. 3-9240 or via
email <a href="mailto:acsherman@uh.edu">acsherman@uh.edu</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I will send a
reminder to you
toward the end of the month. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
