Dear Colleagues:
In light of the changing funding landscape among federal agencies, we want to ensure that you take the appropriate steps when you receive certain communications from agencies regarding your award or project. The Department of Energy (DOE) is contacting Principal Investigators with questions about workforce on DOE grants. Please do not respond. Instead, please contact me at warnerj@uci.edu.
Inquiries such as these require input from institutional officials, known as Authorized Organizational Representatives (AORs), in the Office of Research. UCI’s Office of Research and Office of Campus Counsel are coordinating with colleagues in UCOP to develop and deploy appropriate responses.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact Paul Lekutai, Director, Federal and Non-Federal Sponsored Projects, at plekutai@uci.edu, or me at warnerj@uci.edu.
Regards,
Jeff Warner
Senior Director, Sponsored Projects
Office of Research
