This policy was updated to give the VPRI a formal role in reviewing and evaluating centers and institutes, per the request of the provost. The other principal change is to eliminate mandatory annual reporting through the Improve (formerly TracDat) database. Instead, there will be a review in the 3rd year, as well as the standard comprehensive 5th-year review.
