eFARS Update!
February 2007
Announcements
What is happening now in eFARS? The unit leaders are using eFARS to read through all their unit's annual reports and Forms As. The unit leaders are also creating an annual report for their unit, along with unit goals. Each unit leader meets with the Dean and the associate deans. The meetings begin in March and end on April 19th.
Planning and Reporting: A team of faculty and administrators are working on the Federal Report to the USDA. This important document helps justify the federal salary support that we receive each year. Your efforts at coding your scholarly works have been extremely helpful! We have been able to generate a summary for each Planned Program area, with the Knowledge Areas listed for each item. Thanks!
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I scroll down a page quickly without having to use the scroll bar? Tap the spacebar. This will move you part way down the web page, if all of the page does not show on your screen. Tapping the spacebar works in current versions of Internet Explorer, FireFox, and Safari.
When can I begin entering my 2007 data into eFARS? You can begin entering your 2007 on May 1st. That is a few days after the last administrative reviews on April 19th, as described above.
