UC Irvine Compliance Specialists to Speak at UCSF The School of Medicine and Department of Research will jointly host a visit to UCSF by two research compliance specialists from UC Irvine on Tuesday, February 6. Marilyn Coffelt, UC Irvine's clinical research compliance officer and Eugene Spiritus, senior medical director at UC Irvine Medical Center, will presenting a program -- "Research Compliance Program, Ensuring Quality" -- 3 to 5 p.m. in S 214. UC Irvine has spent the last two years developing its research compliance program, which has now become a model for other universities. Originating in UC Irvine's School of Medicine, the program has become so successful that the UCI Chancellor is currently augmenting the budget to make it a campuswide program. UCSF is in the process of developing its own Research Education and Compliance Activities Program and members of the campus are invited on February 6 to hear about UC Irvine's experience. Chancellor's Awards for Exceptional University Service and Exceptional University Management Nominations are now being accepted for the Chancellor's Award for Exceptional University Service and the Chancellor's Award for Exceptional University Management. Both awards recognize non-academic employees who have consistently performed in their University positions at a level beyond what is ordinarily expected. Details and criteria are described in the nomination form which was recently distributed to the campus community. The award includes a certificate and a check for $3,000 (before taxes) which will be presented at the Founders Day Luncheon on Tuesday, April 17. Nomination forms may be obtained from Human Resources (Laurel Heights, Suite 305 and 330), the Chancellor's Office, via the HR website, or by contacting Joanne Fraysse, 476-4285. The nomination deadline is Friday, January 26. Proposed Revised Academic Coordinator Titles The University proposes to revise Academic Personnel Manual Section 375 for Academic Coordinator titles.
