From the Associate Vice President for Sponsored Programs Operations
Tomorrow, April 22, is the last date to submit Sponsored Programs Operations/Research Foundation (SPO/RF) Human Resource (HR) paperwork (hourly timesheets, appointment and change forms) to the SPO office in Bishop Hall B14 before the scheduled system shutdown on April 25.

A scheduled software upgrade will require the Research Foundation (RF) business system to shut down from the close of business Friday, April 25, through Friday, May 2. During this shutdown period, SPO will not be able to process RF transactions. A full list of due dates for all SPO transactions is available on the Sponsored Programs website.

The RF business system and reporting environment will soon be upgraded to version R12. Oracle is the business system that houses databases and processes transactions for RF HR, grants administration, and purchasing/payables. In addition to enhancing functionality, the upgrade will transition the PIAI and QuickView report applications to the new RF Report Center, set to go live Monday, May 5.
