I am pleased to announce that the Office of Research Affairs has completed Phase 1 in the overhaul of numerous websites that represent the university's extensive research administration enterprise. These sites conform to campus Web standards for the UCSD Blink portal and were live as of April 5, 2013.

Blink sites:
Office of Research (for external audience): http://research.ucsd.edu/
Office of Research Affairs (for internal UCSD):
http://blink.ucsd.edu/sponsor/ora/
Office of Contract & Grant Administration: http://ocga.ucsd.edu
Conflict of Interest Office: http://coi.ucsd.edu
eRAP (electronic Research Administration Program): http://erap.ucsd.edu
ePD (electronic Proposal Development): http://epd.ucsd.edu
Export Control: http://export.ucsd.edu

Phase 2 of this project will include a comprehensive Research Portal, currently in development, that will feature the full spectrum of topics, content, resources, and policies that support the overall lifecycle of sponsored research administration at UC San Diego. We'll communicate with the campus community when the portal is in production, which will be summer 2013.
