<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings Faculty,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please see the memo that I received today regarding RII funding pullback waivers. I understand this is the 3<sup>rd</sup> year they’ve used this model, where we need to request an exception for funds that will be spent between April 30<sup>th</sup>
and June 30<sup>th</sup>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know the status of any funds this applies to, and if you would like to request a waiver. If we are going to be completing a waiver, the expectation is there is a real and valid need for the funding, and it will be spent by
June 30<sup>th</sup>. Janis Rutherford, CALS Assistant Dean, of Finance and Administration, is asking that we route the waivers for her review prior to being submitted to RII. The deadline for submission to CALS is March 20<sup>th</sup>.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This memo serves as a reminder for the Office of Research, Innovation, and Impact (RII) process for annual control of investment funds. RII commitments will not roll over year to year and unspent balances will
be swept back to RII at the end of April each year, after encumbrances and commitments have been taken into consideration. We will
<b>NOT</b> reduce total allocations unless forced to by overall reductions in our budget base. We will instead add an extra year onto the commitment period during which unspent balances from previous years will be allocated. If your commitment has been granted
an extension before, a waiver will need to be submitted to justify additional extension requests.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
