[ADR-RLO-Others] attendance at future ADR/RLO meetings
by Lindsey Troschuk 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

The following email is sent on behalf of Dr. Digvir Jayas, Vice-President (Research and International) and Distinguished Professor: Dear All: In April of this year, a schedule of ADR/RLO meeting dates for 2017/2018 was distributed to ADR/RLOs, as well as to Research Grant Officers, Research Facilitators, and others. Following consultation and feedback with ADR/RLOs last term, I would like to try utilizing ADR/RLO meetings differently this year. Specifically, I would like to hold smaller meetings primarily with ADR/RLOs. I anticipate that as future agendas are assembled and finalized that it will be beneficial for Research Grant Officers, Research Facilitators, or others to also attend; please keep this year's schedule of meetings in your calendar. Therefore, unless indicated otherwise, this year's ADR/RLO meetings will consist of the VP (Research and International), the AVP (Research), the AVP (Partnerships), and the ADR/RLOs. If a meeting is dedicated to research in, say, one of the three Tri-agency areas, i.e., humanities and social sciences, natural sciences and engineering, or health sciences, then only a subset of the ADR/RLOs may wish to attend. Also, if a particular topic requires the presence of one or more research facilitators or other personnel, we will invite them to that particular meeting, as needed. Thank you. Digvir S. Jayas, Ph.D., P.Eng., P.Ag., FAZRA, FASABE, FCSBE, FAIC, FCIFST, FEC, FEIC, FCAE, FRSC, FNAAS, FISAE, FNASc, IntPE (Canada), APEC Engineer, FGC (Hon) Vice-President (Research and International) and Distinguished Professor 207 Administration Building 66 Chancellors Circle University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB, Canada R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-9404 (office) Phone: 204-254-0637 (home) Fax: 204-474-7568 Email: digvir.jayas(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:digvir.jayas@umanitoba.ca> Webpage: www.umanitoba.ca/research<http://www.umanitoba.ca/research> [MCO-00-153-UofM140thAnniversary-signature-F]<http://news.umanitoba.ca/category/u-of-ms-140th-anniversary/> Lindsey Troschuk Administrative Assistant to Gary Glavin, the Associate Vice-President (Research) and Jay Doering, the Associate Vice-President (Partnerships) Office of the Vice-President (Research and International) 207 Administration Building University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3T 2N2 Ph: 204-474-7952 Fax: 204-474-7568 Lindsey.Troschuk(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Lindsey.Troschuk@umanitoba.ca> www.umanitoba.ca/research<http://www.umanitoba.ca/research> This email and any attachments may contain confidential, personal and/or privileged information intended for a specific individual and purpose.
