Inside IRIS: December 2018

INSIDE IRIS: DECEMBER 2018

IRIS Spending Report Update

IRIS is sending out new spending reports for member universities based on the October 2018 data submission. This report provides details about how your institution’s federal and non-federal sponsored research supports both employees on your campus and vendors in your state and around the country.

What is the role of universities in economic development?

This question is becoming increasingly urgent in a political climate that is skeptical of hard-to-measure outcomes. Join Jason Owen-Smith for an overview of the topic and a conversation about how to use the data you get from IRIS to demonstrate the contributions your institution makes to the region and to industry in a webinar on Wednesday, January 30, 3-4 pm EST.
