Reporting Web Conference Series

NIFA, in partnership with Texas A&M University, is starting a bi-monthly NIFA Reporting Web Conference Series (RWC) in February 2008. This series originated from requests for more information on various topics identified at the 2007 NIFA Planning and Accountability Mini-Conference. Topics for the series include:

  • Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act (AREERA);
  • Plans of Work (POW);
  • Annual Reports;
  • One Solution;
  • CRIS (soon to become NIFA Information System (CIS)); and
  • Outcome reporting.

Each bi-monthly Web conference will cover two, 1-hour topics, usually 1 hour on software or report formats and 1 hour on content quality guidance. Half of each session will be reserved for answering questions. Conferences are scheduled for the second Thursday of even months from 2 to 4 p.m. (Eastern).

RWC E-Mail List

A RWC e-mail list will notify interested parties on news, schedules, and other issues relating to the series. Interested parties may subscribe to the list by sending an e-mail message to: lyris@lyris.nifa.usda.gov.
