Meetings
The RSC meets as a full group at least four times a year, typically in February, May, September and November. The annual kickoff meeting and other special events are held in person whenever possible, but we also strive to provide a virtual/hybrid attendance option for all meetings.
Upcoming Meetings
The following RSC meetings are currently planned for 2024:
- May 14, 2024
- September 10, 2024
- November 12, 2024
Please keep in mind these dates are subject to change. For the most up-to-date information on future RSC meetings, check your university Google Calendar. If you don’t see the meetings on your calendar, make sure to become an RSC member so we can add you to the RSC Google Group.
Meeting Records
RSC meetings often feature important updates from the Office of Sponsored Programs and Regulatory Compliance (SPARCS), the Office of Contracts and Grants, and other units. In our meeting records, you can find agendas, presentation slides and other resources from recent years past; an NC State Unity ID is required to access most of these resources.
