The CGLINK group has been set up to facilitate communication among staff on campus who are involved with administering contracts and grants. The Office of Research (OR) will utilize the group to share information, including but not limited to:

  • Regulatory changes.
  • Research-related policies and procedures changes.
  • New information or changes on the OR website.
  • Schedules of contract and grant meeting and training sessions.
  • Time-sensitive contract and grant matters.
  • Pertinent information from funding agencies.

C&G liaisons are welcome to use the CGLINK group to post questions and solicit information from other departments or from the Office of Research on contract and grant matters of general interest. Please continue to direct questions on specific projects to the relevant contract and Sponsored Projects officer & analyst team. Information on joining and leaving the group is found below.
