Testing a simple hypothesis...
Dear Arts & Sciences Faculty,
We are excited to bring you the 1st issue of Experimomentum, a new digital newsletter from the CAS Office of Research (CAS OOR). This is an experiment to test a simple hypothesis: faculty will take better advantage of the resources we offer if we them tell them about the resources we offer! Each semester, we'll share news to inform your grant-seeking and award management.
Our College is full of amazing researchers and scholars, and we see the evidence crossing our desks everyday. We're here to help as you continue to expand knowledge and make an impact.
~ Amy
Amy Adamson, Associate Dean for Research, College of Arts & Sciences
P.S. To get more reminders and updates, follow us on Twitter @UNCG_CASOOR. And check out our new and improved CAS OOR website for resources to kickstart your new research proposal.

RAMSeS access ends June 30, 2022
ICYMI: RAMSeS is being replaced by Cayuse. Now, Cayuse is the way we submit external funding proposals, IRB applications, Conflict of Interest disclosures, IACUC applications, and IBC applications.
By popular demand, access to RAMSeS data and attached files has been extended to June 30, 2022. This gives you time to compare RAMSeS data records to those that were migrated to Cayuse SP, and to download any missing attachments from RAMSeS.

| UNCG News and Campus Weekly can help recruit for your research study!
| |
Faculty members who are recruiting study participants may contact the Office of Research and Engagement (ORE) once a year to have a recruiting news post created. The post will appear on the ORE site, on UNCG News as a story or campus note, and in a Campus Weekly email. (Student-led studies are not eligible for this recruiting assistance.)
To take advantage of this service, online recruitment must be included in your IRB-approved strategies. The IRB reviewer will receive the final post language and must approve it before the post goes online.
