2024 Winter Closure

In accordance with the School of Medicine's decision to close operations during the winter break, the Research Management Group (RMG) offices will be closed from 5:00 PM, Dec 20, 2024 to 8:00 AM, Jan 6, 2025. RMG staff will not be available during this period.

To ensure timely submission of proposals, please note the following internal deadlines:

Please notify your assigned Research Process Manager (RPM) or Fellowship Manager immediately of your intent to submit an application so that the budget preparation and PIF/PDRF submission and routing processes can begin.  We recommend notifying RMG 4-6 weeks in advance of the sponsor deadline to support RMG’s efforts to manage and complete all proposals. (Find your RPM & Fellowship Contacts).

To ensure timely budget development and contract negotiation for industry-funded clinical trials, please note the following:

1. The contract must be fully executed by all parties by 5 PM PST, Friday, December 6, 2024 in order to allow sufficient time to issue an Award Acceptance Notification (AAN) and establish the PTA and Hospital account. ORA has said that to issue an NOA by December 20 they must have “all necessary information and approvals” from the department in SeRA by Friday, December 13, 2024 @ 5 PM.
2. If you are not already working with a CT RPM or SCI-CTO Financial Analyst on a final budget for your industry-funded study, it is unlikely that we will be able to complete the study budget and contract before the December 6th deadline.
3. If you have questions about the processing of clinical trials, please contact your CT RPM or SCI-CTO Financial Analyst. (Find your CT RPM & SCI-CTO Contacts).
   

In the event of an emergency during the closure, please leave a voicemail message at 650-498-4963.  Please be sure to leave a call-back number.  Voicemails will be monitored, and your call will be returned. 

Questions about proposals and award processing may be directed to institutional officials on RMG's Department Assignments webpage. Thank you.
