[mailto:Sally.Tremaine at quinnipiac.edu] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2008 2:51 PM To: PUI Neighborhood Subject: [ncurapui] Research Awards? My PUI university, which has historically been teaching focused, makes annual awards to faculty for Excellence in Teaching. I am recommending that we create a new annual award for Excellence in Research and Scholarly and Creative Activities, as a way to celebrate the research that does happen here and as a way to encourage more faculty to be involved. The committee that I am working with is stuck on the mechanism we should propose to choose the recipients. We have six different schools and the committee members think it would be difficult to decide what constitutes excellent scholarship in diverse areas such as journalism, biology, drama and education. On the other hand, I really would prefer not to have a specified rotation among the schools, with recipients chosen by the Dean, because I think the award should be open to anyone every year and chosen by an institutional committee. Do any of you have institution-wide awards? If so, can you point me to a web site or let me know what your selection criteria are and how you handle the review and selection? THANKS Sally Sally S.

I agree with Sally that one should be done and hope to accomplish that step at our university also.

This is a time for higher education grant administrators to meet, share concepts, resources, and issues, and make plans for collaborative activities. Statewide information about the status of Oklahoma higher education grantsmanship is provided, and we will have a discussion focused on grantsmanship at the community college tier and at the university tier. Please RSVP to me at lmason at osrhe.edu by November 7 if you intend to attend. Those who traditionally attend are Directors/Coordinators of Sponsored Programs offices, directors or administrators of grant programs, or administrators responsible for grantsmanship at their institution. The agenda is: 9:00 Introduction and Welcome 9:05 Mission of Grantsmanship in Oklahoma - Dr. Linda Mason State of the State Address: Oklahoma's Ranking in the Nation, Oklahoma Institutions' Grantsmanship and State Grant Resources 9:30 One State Resource: EPSCoR - Dr. Jim Wicksted, Associate Director, Oklahoma EPSCoR 9:50 Q&A 10:00 Round Robin Introductions 10:10 Tier-Based Discussions Community Colleges - Dr. Penny Coggins, Vice President of Grant Development and Applied Research, Redlands Community College, Facilitator Universities - C.

It is United States Grants to Universities: Factors for Success in Obtaining Funding, VDM Verlag: Saarburcken, 2008. ISBN: 978-3-639-05827-7. The author is Dr. Sharon Cole, Grants Officer, Nevada Cancer Institute. She is the former Director of Sponsored Programs of Oklahoma City University and a previous mentor for the Summer Grant Writing Institute. Hope it is helpful to you. The purpose of the study was to examine a previous funding success model for its use across disciplines in order to identify the significant behaviors, networking activities, and demographic profile that contributed to the successful receipt of US grant awards. A comprehensive model of funding success was identified. This can be critical to new faculty seeking tenure and to institutions seeking funding to support research activities. The US government invests $15 billion annually in academic research. This causes fierce competition among research universities. The key in pursuing grant funding lies in discovering the motivators that attract faculty. The motivators include attending professional association meetings, ability to submit many proposals, working with a research or project team, working in a collaboration, being a professional association member and officer, and having a teaching load reduced to accommodate project management. It is important to provide support and reduce barriers to obtaining grant funds. Linda Mason, Ed.D.
