CLA Fiscal Administration will offer two open lab sessions to help people complete their FY09 Budget & CLA Mapping Workbook as presented in last week's CLA Financial/HR joint meeting.
The open lab sessions are meant to be a working session where we can assist with questions and where you can work with the tools we've given you to sort out your accounts and to determine what post-budget adjustments will be needed once we convert to EFS in July. We will NOT have the computers configured for you to do your CUFS entry. This is strictly for you to determine where to budget in CUFS and where your accounts will be in the new system. It's also been designed to be a drop-in session so you can come complete your worksheets and get your questions answered one-on-one and leave when you are complete.
If you plan on attending one of the open labs please be sure to save your copy of the FY09 Budget & Mapping Workbook as well as an materials you've already starting working on to your H: or S: drive as we will be using the terminal server to log-in and access your files. As a back-up you can also email a copy of the files to yourself to access at the computer lab.
- What: FY09 Budget & CLA Mapping Open Lab Sessions
- When: Friday, May 9 from 9:00 - 10:30 a.m. Monday, May 12 from 1:30 - 3:00 p.m.
- Where: 30 Jones Hall (CLA Language Center Lab)

Central OIT has informed CLA that the University's Active Directory (AD) system undergoes regular maintenance on the third Saturday of each month. They have scheduled one for this Saturday from 6:00 am to noon. Unfortunately, as Active Directory is a University service, it is not within CLA-OIT's control to change the maintenance schedule or provide exceptions for specific users or departments. However, it is unlikely to take as long as scheduled and all services will probably be available within an hour or so.
For most users, these "maintenance windows" will have little or no impact. Only access to the Shared (S:) folders and access to the Terminal Server will be disrupted. For most faculty and staff, access to Home (H:) folders will not be affected due "synchronization features" CLA-OIT has implemented. Email, web, PeopleSoft, and other non-AD services will not be affected. Also, users from departments that have not been migrated to AD will not be affected.
CLA-OIT's advice: wait until 8:00 Saturday morning to access the Terminal Server or any Shared folders. If it works, proceed as normal but save often. If it does not, wait an hour and try again. If you have files that you absolutely need access to on Saturday morning, place a copy in your local Documents folder on Friday.
CLA HR and Fiscal Administration will be hosting a series of EFS Open Sessions for Department Administrators beginning in April through July.
Many concerns and issues have been raised as we near the go-live date of July 1st. We would like to address these issues in an open forum. There will be specific agenda items for each session, as well as allowing plenty of time for Q&A's.
The first Open Session will take place on: Thursday, April 24, from 10:30-11:30 immediately following the HR/Fiscal Joint meeting in Willey Hall. Agenda items for this session include: Contracts for Professional Services, Approvals, and other issues that have been raised in the past month.
In an effort to better advance science and improve health, a new public law has been enacted that requires NIH to expand public access to research findings supported with federal tax dollars. To respond to this law, NIH has mandated a Public Access policy, which requires that an author's final version of any peer-reviewed manuscript accepted for publication on or after April 7, 2008 be submitted to the PubMed Central (PMC) repository.
The policy, which applies to all NIH-funded activities, stipulates that the manuscript, once submitted, must be made available to the public within 12 months after the article is published. Investigators are also expected to cite the PMC identification number for such publications on all proposals or progress reports submitted to NIH beginning May 25, 2008.
The Office of the Vice President for Research and the University Libraries have taken a number of steps to help investigators and authors ensure institutional compliance:
- The University Libraries and Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA) have developed a new web site http://www.lib.umn.edu/scholcom/NIHaccess.phtml which contains a wealth of information to assist authors in retaining key rights in their agreements with publishers, as well as assistance with depositing articles to NIH and citing articles.
- The Vice President for Research has developed a letter that authors can attach to the first submission of a manuscript to a publisher that informs the publisher of the University of Minnesota's intent to comply with the policy. This letter is available for download at: http://www.lib.umn.edu/scholcom/umn-ovpr.pdf
- SPA will remind investigators of this requirement on the Notice of Grant Award (NOGA) for NIH awards
- SPA will add the new NIH requirement to the terms and conditions of its NIH-funded subawards when these are issued or modified

Just a reminder about the importance of making sure that academic departments are changing their business practices related to effort certification.
Periodic review of costs charged to sponsored projects is needed, and departments cannot wait for the effort certification cycle to process financial adjustments. If SFR has already submitted a final report or invoice to the sponsor on a project, and HSAs are being processed now due to effort certification, we may not revise the report or invoice.
SFR accountants have been asked to be proactive and during final invoice and report preparation to ask the academic departmental accountants about this.

If you have any questions, please contact Pandora Aaron (4-9370, aaron012@umn.edu)The Pulse Survey is a biannual employee satisfaction survey commissioned by the University's central administration and conducted in partnership with the Human Resources Research Institute in the Carlson School of Management. The survey asks a variety of questions about our employees' job experiences and attitudes related to their jobs, departments, and the University.
Supervisors and managers should:
- Inform faculty and staff that they will get an e-mail invitation on April 7th with instructions for completing the 2008 Pulse Survey. This is the third administration of our employee satisfaction survey (2004, 2006, 2008).
- Explain the importance of this survey (as outlined in the talking points below), and encourage employees to participate. Be sure to emphasize that responses are confidential.
- Be sure that all employees in your area who do not have a work computer know that computer labs will be available.
Key messages:
- The Pulse Survey measures faculty and staff satisfaction with the University of Minnesota an employer; it is administered every other year.
- The University listens to faculty and staff opinions from the Pulse Survey when setting its priorities. One example is the University's commitment to maintaining affordable health care, with choices. Another example is updating our orientation programs for all new faculty and staff.
- A major part of being a great university is having an engaged community, and the Pulse Survey is a primary tool to drive this change.
- We are working to better incorporate the Pulse Survey results into our management processes, so that leaders throughout the University can make more informed decisions.
- Results will be reported University-wide--as well as at the campus, collegiate, and major administrative unit level--soon after the survey deadline.
- Beginning with this Pulse, an OHR consultant will meet with campus, college, and major administrative unit leaders to talk about the survey results, areas of opportunity, and related resources.
- To make this work successful, we must take an accurate pulse of our University community, and we need all faculty and staff to participate in this very important survey.
- Please take 20 minutes out of your workday to complete the Pulse Survey.
