Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will the institution have more than one Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) responsible for proposal submission and award acceptance?
No, the role of the Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) will continue to be managed via OSPA through the role of the Associate Vice President for Research as it is today. This is a central office function and will remain so.
Q2: I don’t understand what the new CGS role does?
On the CGS website we have a detailed Service Catalog. The CGS Service Catalog outlines each service in detail that the Collaboratives will perform. This is also described at a higher level on the Services page of the CGS website. Each role across the research lifecycle is broken down in the RACI matrix on the CGS website.
Q3: What is my role now as the investigator/BO?
Each role across the research lifecycle is broken down in the RACI matrix on the CGS website. This CGS RACI Matrix outlines who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed for each task that the Collaboratives is responsible for. This chart provides a structured way to communicate who is responsible for specific tasks or decisions, who is accountable for the outcome, who needs to be consulted before decisions are made, and who should be kept informed of progress. Specific Investigator resources have been developed and are available on the CGS Investigator webpage.
