Sponsored Programs Implementation Team

Sponsored Programs Implementation Team (SPIT)

In October 2001, the Sponsored Programs Implementation Team (SPIT) was formed to develop improvements in research administration. Specifically, SPIT was charged to validate a list of issues and priorities, to complete a situation analysis, and then to deliver solutions. SPIT is a cross-functional representation of research administrators from U-M academic and administrative units, and it includes central administration representatives from the Division of Research Development and Administration (DRDA), Financial Operations, MAIS, and Purchasing. In August 2003, the Sponsored Research Administration Advisory Committee (SPIT III) was formed to continue the work of the prior SPIT committees.
