distribute $ for travel is to be discussed at Winter meeting.
3. Lori – ICPSR council update – still have the $2000 for CSU federation to support travel to summer program. Money for other single institutions has been pulled, so attention needs to be paid to maintaining this small amount for CSU federation.

Gene mentioned asking the CO for a once-a-year e-mail to be sent out to whole system with info on SSRIC services

Workshop schedule (Faculty education outreach program(FEOP) schedule): Lori suggested having template flyers or letters advertising FEOP up on the website so hosting representatives could use them to advertise their own workshops – **reps should send any existing materials to Lori for her to compile
7. Website – Andrew Rodrick joined for a little over an hour
He mentioned his new role at SFSU in a university-wide IT unit. Shouldn’t affect his relationship with SSRIC too much
Andrew asked that the Council integrate the collaboration with DIVA into the strategic planning session on Sat to determine how SSRIC would like him to proceed.
Lori is going to continue to work with Andrew on the DIVA collaboration – first task brainstorming questions for needs assessment of faculty
FRESCA – SSRIC is collaborating with the CO and others on the piloting of FRESCA (a database of CSU faculty highlighting their research interests and projects)
**Andrew asked all the reps to fill out a profile on FRESCA so that SSRIC is an early adopter/group in the process – he would also like feedback on the process
