If you're a new researcher at CSM or if you've never attended a Research Orientation before, this is for you! In this session hosted by OFD and led by the Grant Development Office, you'll learn how to get funding, get a better understanding of the grant application process, and start mapping your plan for success!

There will be five one-hour virtual lecture sessions between Sept. 19 to Nov. 28, 2024. In between sessions, you will meet three times with two colleagues in a triad to share experiences of these types of conversations, what you have learned, debrief, and offer advice and support to one another. This course is eligible for Section 3 CME credits.

For more information, please contact Lori Paul [email protected].

AHS Microsoft 365 Licenses

In 2023, Microsoft 365 introduced a new licensing model to AHS. Information Workers with assigned computers (i.e., admin) will receive full access to the MS 365 license package, while Deskless Workers will have access to web-based apps only.

Currently, 80% of AHS staff are Deskless Workers, and 20% have dedicated devices. Web-based access limitations mean certain documents (e.g., fillable forms, advanced Excel spreadsheets, macros) will not be compatible for Deskless Workers.
