Program Admin

  • Call for projects + call for intern projects combined
    • Due: January 14
    • Target for selection: late January/early February

  • Invoicing
    • weekly meetings with Carol are going well, will resume after TRB for another quarter
    • FY20 admin cost transfer - got declined during PeopleSoft time, then transition to Workday led to things getting lost, but hopefully they can fix this in the next month

    • Goal: projects selected and ready to post by end of January.

    • Melissa will send offer letters to Katie today so she/Linda can start account set-up.
