Quiz
Question #1:
What is the most common complaint of the members of an organization?
Answer: Lack of (or insufficient) communication!
Question #2:
What is the #1 or #2 concern of industrial partners when they consider
joining an I/UCRC?
Answer: Security of Proprietary Information (the other one being about
Intellectual Property rights)
Thus the title of this talk: Useful tool - “A Secure Website”
ROSE-HUB Secure Website Basic features: • Levels of authentication
• Administrator(s)
• Site leads & co-leads
• Site PI’s (faculty, staff, grad students, etc.)
• Industrial partners (members)
• Industrial partners (affiliate members)
• NSF
• Key Directories (pages or tabs)
• News & Upcoming Events (home page)
• Ongoing Projects per site
• Past projects per site
• Current proposals per site
• Proposed Publications per site
• Past publications per site
• Student resumes per site
• Needs of industrial partners
Future features: • Automated email notifications
• Live chat room
ROSE-HUB Secure Website
How to:
We went to the UMN IT Dept and utilized an existing relationship
and secure infrastructure that the UMN has with Google.
Pros – Free site, free UMN IT design and support, increased
firewall security.
Cons – User must log-in to this secure website from a gmail
account.

MAST Center: About Us
• Our research program is focused on membrane science and engineering
• Our Phase I award is through July 2015
with New Jersey Institute of Technology as
lead site
• 3 official sites, 13 sponsors
• 15 research projects, 14 primary faculty,
7 post-docs, and 124 graduate students
• $1,110,000 projected annual budget
Tip #1: Go Electronic!
• Saves Paper
• Document-Loss Reduced
• Greater Efficiency
• Broader Access Possible
How? Web, Secure Server,
Online Portal
What portals save the most time?
• Electronic documents via secure server
• Real-time feedback at meetings, via Survey
Monkey and the Web:
– Project presentation feedback
– LIFE forms, via the web
– Meeting feedback forms
• Via portals on our website, mastcenter.org:
– Regonline.com: online registration with credit card
payments
– Formsite.com: Progress Report submission and
Proposal submission for annual RFP Process
Tip #2: Collect information
consistently via Excel
spreadsheets
• Small changes take less time than a complete revision
• Current information is available quickly
• Capability to sort via different criteria
• Color-coded for quick reference
What do we have on spreadsheets? – Current Funding and Balance Status for Projects
– Publications List
– Contact List: Directors, Faculty, Researchers, IAB
