F&A works with client
-
Helping an institution choose which grants are right for them - duplicate the process on the duplicating the interview process for the scaffolding page (change it a bit) Discussing what type of grant - is it because .... more complex requires more moving parts - why do they want complex grants (we want larger bucks coming in - then F&A comes in to talk about what grants they are working on. Would involve workshops to help understand the difference.) Report on how research is changing at the institution.
-
If F&A cannot fully address a complex question on the fly, we follow up within a few days
