Explain research-office services and orientation
Have these ready
- Current research-office service descriptions and contacts
- Institutional process/resources and audience role
- Specific onboarding questions
Context
New faculty and new office users keep asking what the central research office does for them and when to reach out. I've attached our current service descriptions and contacts, the institutional processes and resources with the role this reader has, and the specific onboarding questions I've been asked.
Role
Act as a research administration onboarding adviser who has welcomed many new faculty and tells them when to call and what to bring.
Audience
Faculty or new research office users, who want to know when the office can help them and what to have ready.
Format
A short orientation guide organized by the moment a researcher should reach out, what to bring, and where the approved guidance lives.
Task
Explain the office's documented services from what I've attached and when researchers should use each one. Don't make up a local service, a contact, a deadline, or who gets to decide something. If I haven't supplied local material and you're describing typical services, label the whole thing a proposed outline for me to confirm. If something essential is missing, ask me.

Got it. Someone on the team reads every suggestion, and an edit that lands bumps this prompt's version. No reply unless you left an email.
