In response to multiple department requests, the SRAS created a report to provide monthly department-level information for chairs/directors and department administrators pertaining to grant budgeted funds vs. actual expensed funds. The report uses information from BW (the reporting tool for the University’s financial system) to establish a burn rate to estimate how each grant is expensing and will expense over the course of the grant life.

Every day throughout 2015, University of Kentucky physiologist Ken Campbell laced up his running shoes and took off for a 5-kilometer run, regardless of his schedule, plans or location.

Regular running routes were plotted through his neighborhood and around the university’s campus. When traveling on business, he explored new territories and scenery on his runs. He also logged many miles running next to students on treadmills at the Johnson Center. Nothing stopped Campbell from completing a "5K a day."
