As part of the effort to streamline contracting procedures and encourage cross-campus collaboration, OTREC staff and PSU research and business office representatives made the rainy drive (and some snow!) to Eugene, OR in February for a meeting with UO faculty and administration. Director Robert Bertini gave an OTREC overview and Hau Hagedorn described OTRECís proposal process. A good spirit of collaboration, along with questions and discussion helped OTREC and university staff better understand each otherís grant processes and timelines. OTREC thanks UO for their hospitality.
