Laura Wolfe was consistently being asked for direction in which office PI's should use for different tasks. Laura saw an opportunity to better support our PIs, research staff, and department admins by creating a single location for easy navigation of the numerous research related resources KU has to offer. This resource could be an extension of AMS to help reduce overall administrative burden associated with sponsored awards. This resource would include links to our Human Resources department, Financial quick links for immediate action, and details of all the administrative research tasks Award Management Services (AMS) supports.
Three individuals in Award Management Services teamed up and designed a new webpage to guide researchers to for support. Researchers and support staff can now use this resource to know which office to contact and in some cases to immediately start a service request from the Quick Links section. Other helpful information available are important policies, contacts, and links to the most recent Federal Research news.
