Research Administration System (RAS)Go-Live
In April 2006 the campus will be transitioning to the Research Administration System (RAS). During the week of April 17th, the PeopleSoft Proposal Express and Financial System will be unavailable. This impacts the Departments and the Office of Sponsored Research in two ways:
- Proposal Express will be unavailable. Departments needing to complete
an OSR Approval Form will have 3 options:
- complete and print the form using Proposal Express before 5:00pm on April 14th;
- complete the web-based form on the C&G website at: http://www.research.ucsf.edu/cg/forms/cgUCSFform.asp and then enter proposal into RAS system after go-live or
- complete the new OSR Approval Form in Proposal Express starting April 24th and deliver proposal to OSR at that time. Regardless of which option is chosen, OSR is committed to ensuring proposals are sent to the sponsor on time.
- New award and award modifications received by OSR after April 7th will not be sent to EMF for set-up until after the RAS system goes live on April 24th. For awards received by the 7th, Departments have until April 12th to work with EMF to get award fund/dpa’s set up after which time the awards will be set up starting the 24th.
More detailed instructions will be available on the UCSF Link website and in future UCSF Link Campus Communications.

UC Declines Acceptance of SWRCB Under the 2005-06 Consolidated Grants Program
On February 14, 2006, Vice Chancellors for Research in the University of California community were informed that UC has decided, barring resolution of issues with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), to decline acceptance of new grants under the 2005-06 Consolidated Grants Program. Unless outstanding issues with SWRCB are resolved in a mutually agreeable manner, principal investigators who submitted pre-proposals on-line earlier in February do not have the authority to bind the University.
Office of Technology Management (OTM)
UCSF's Office Technology Management (OTM), an integral part of the Office of Research, is responsible for managing UCSF's intellectual property. As such, the OTM licenses UCSF inventions and software for public use and benefit, generates license income to support campus research and education, and works with UCSF inventors to build start-up biotech and medical device companies.
Founded in 1996, the OTM licenses between 25 and 50 inventions each year and has helped launch over 30 start-ups. Prior to 1996, UCSF's intellectual property assests were managed by the Office of Technology Transfer (OTT) in UC's Office of the President. However under a decentralized initiative already in progress, all UCSF inventions that have been under OTT's management are being transferred to the campus OTM for management.
When the transfer is complete, the OTM will be responsible for managing all UCSF intellectual property - past, present and future - which will total roughly 1,600 inventions increasing at the rate of about 150 new inventions/year. During this transition, the OTM's headcount will grow from 12 to 18 staff. [more...]

NIH Implementing Multiple-Principal Investigator Policy
The NIH will implement a Federal-wide policy to allow formally, more than one Principal Investigator (PI) on individual research awards. This presents a new and important opportunity for investigators seeking support for projects or activities that clearly require a "team science" approach and which do not fit the single-PI model.
