Keeping up with new regulations, new programs, and developing trends is a primary way for research administrators to keep their institutions competitive and compliant. This module helps participants understand the process of monitoring Federal activity and establishing and maintaining government relations. The key to good government relations is being aware of what the government is doing. Here are some ways to do this:
Congress (1)
Much of what Congress does impacts research and Federal funding for institutions. Keeping track of enabling legislation and appropriations bills is very important.
Office of Management and Budget (2)
The OMB is the key administrative office as far as grantee institutions are concerned. OMB tells us how we can spend grant funds and what we can spend them for.
Office of Science and Technology Policy (3)
The OSTP makes big policy decisions that impact on where Federal support for research is going -- what are the nation’s priorities?
Agencies (4)
This is where the money’s at! Your most productive time will be spent in keeping up on the funding trends and program priorities of your key agencies. The agencies also control administrative issues as well, so knowing what they have in mind for grants administration is also key.
Focus on these governmental entities, but do it from the bottom of the list to the top in terms of priority! (RAPID, R. Killoren, 1999) (5)
