InCHIP Annual Survey Step 1 of 8 12% UConn's Institute for Collaboration on Health, Intervention, and Policy (InCHIP) invites UConn faculty to provide feedback on their experiences with InCHIP services and programs during the last year. This anonymous survey will serve two primary purposes: This survey will inform InCHIP leadership's planning for the next year. InCHIP's director will use responses from this survey to develop and present a report on the structural and University-wide concerns, barriers, and facilitators to undertaking research at UConn. This report will be delivered to university leadership. InCHIP provides the following services to UConn Faculty: InCHIP Grants Management: Pre-Award Services - these services support PIs through the grant submission process. This includes everything from the moment you submit your pre-award request form through submission to Sponsored Program Services. InCHIP Business Services: Post-Award Services - these services support PIs who have funded (internal or extramural) grants by helping PIs make state/funder-compliant purchases, human resources (hiring, payroll, etc.), budget projections, and reporting.
