Altieri takes leave to join Peace Corps

Joanne Altieri, assistant vice provost for research, is taking a leave of absence from KU, starting in September, to serve


as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic. She anticipates being gone for more than two years, serving as a business counselor in the Caribbean country of 9 million people that borders Haiti.


“We’re very proud of Joanne and the courageous decision she has made to serve in the Peace Corps,” said Jim Roberts, vice provost for research. “She has been an important part of KU for more than 17 years and is a model of professionalism and service to university researchers.”


Altieri heads the Contract Negotiations and Research Compliance Office in Youngberg Hall.


The office assists KU researchers with reviewing, negotiating and processing all externally sponsored research contracts and subcontracts.


It also ensures research compliance on projects involving human subjects or animals, manages KU’s conflict of interest policy and conducts instructional workshops on research administration issues.
