Listserv & SR Communications

Sponsored Research Listserv

The Sponsored Research listserv is the primary means for communicating news and events, sponsor and policy changes, and system updates that affect the entire Northwestern research community. The listserv is a strictly moderated list with all messages originating from or being sent by Sponsored Research on behalf of an institutional partner. There is no community forum or open discussion on the listserv.

SR - Proposal Updates Teams Channel

In partnership with NURAP, the shared Teams channel: SR – Proposal Updates is a space for quick, timely updates related to proposal submissions.  Please note that this is a more conversational, participatory channel that is meant to supplement, not replace, official communications issued by Sponsored Research.

 👉 Join here: SR - Proposal Updates]

 👉 If you’d like the channel added directly to your department’s existing Teams, email NURAP@northwestern.edu. Once connected, all staff in your department’s Teams will automatically have access and update if/when you add or remove them from your respective Teams.

We also encourage you to join the NURAP Link Up. Several channels exist to share tips, tools, and resources related to specific funders or general processes.
