At its April 2009 meeting, the Board of Regents unanimously approved the 2009-10 comprehensive review of the BoRSF Research and Development Program with related documents. The programmatic review of the Research and Development (R&D) component of the Board of Regents Support Fund will:

  • Assess the success of each subprogram of the BoRSF R&D component in achieving defined goals; and
  • Shape future directions for the individual subprograms and the R&D program as a whole consistent with the research component of the Board of Regents Master Plan.

The FY 2009-10 programmatic review of RCS and ITRS will include those projects funded from FY 2000-01 through 2004-05. The evaluation of the ATLAS program will include projects funded from FY 2004-05 through 2006-07.

BoR staff discovered in January that email servers on several campuses blocked the September communications to R&D respondents without notifying the sender. This caused us to lose several months planned for investigators, department chairs, deans and VPs/VCs for Research to develop their responses. We have since worked with all known affected campuses to resolve the issue.
Given our late discovery of this issue, the established due dates (all in January and February 2010) are not realistic for those respondents who did not receive the original emails. We will work with affected campuses to collect all their responses in a reasonable timeframe. To enable the review process to continue this year, we must receive all responses by April 1, 2010.
