Hi Linda,

 

I am looking for external reviewers to read the Oklahoma ITQ grant
proposals this year. This is a request to find volunteers from higher
education, common education, businesses sectors and legislators to read
and score upcoming federal grant improving teacher quality proposals.
Readers' educational background knowledge in Mathematics, Science,
Language Arts, and overall understanding of effective teaching and
learning instructions are important. This is a statewide process and we
accept applications from all around Oklahoma.  Interested individuals
can familiarize themselves with the Request for Proposal (RFP) through
the following link: http://okhighered.org/itq/2012.shtml.  

 

Please share the following brief background information regarding
readers' tasks with your group.   

 

"...Each reader will read and score maximum of three proposals.  It is
imperative that after scoring each section, reader provides
comprehensive comments and feedback (both positive and constructive)
regarding that section.  Only the readers' comments will be shared with
the grant directors to communicate the strength and the weakness of
their proposals.

 

Please forward the attached registration form to your group.  Interested
participants must complete and return the attached Reader Application
form, with a PDF copy of their Curriculum Vitae (one-pager) to Saeed
Sarani, ssarani at osrhe.edu by Monday, October 3, 2011. The selected
readers will be notified via email by Friday, October 7, 2011. Thank you
so much!

Hi Linda

 

Greg wanted me to let you know - he will definitely be prepared for the
Washington meeting, and he will provide handouts at the talk. 

 

His Dad passed away yesterday afternoon, so he will be in Iowa for a bit
longer still, but he doesn't want you worrying about his presentation in
the meantime.

REU awards provide funding that allows undergraduate students from
institutions across the state to perform research at Oklahoma's
comprehensive research campuses (OU, OSU, TU, Noble Foundation) during
the summer months. Students benefit from hands-on research experiences
in STEM fields and one-on-one guidance from faculty mentors through the

ROA awards provide regional university faculty members from primarily
undergraduate institutions in Oklahoma with the opportunity to perform
research at one of Oklahoma's comprehensive research campuses (OU, OSU,
TU, Noble Foundation) during the summer months. ROAs enhance regional
faculty members' personal research experiences, while also supporting
the development of ongoing collaborations with faculty at the
comprehensive research campuses. These collaborations expand and enhance
research efforts across the state.

Subject: [Okgrantsmanship] Value of Real Estate in Grant Budget Planning
Message-ID: <8775EA78FE232744BC67431D563D6B4A2AF2E7@postman1.osrhe.edu>

Dear CGR members,

 

In investigating the cost of real estate for budget planning, I have
found the following resources:

 

Classroom: Dallas = $146/square foot; Kansas City = $175/square foot

Laboratory: Dallas = $156/square foot; Kansas City = $187/square foot 

Student Union (including restaurant space, office space, retail space
and assembly space): Dallas = $134/square foot; Kansas City =
$160/square foot

 

"Cost Per Square Foot of Building Types by Region," provided by EV
Studio: Architecture, Engineering, Planning, dated May 2010, online at
http://evstudio.info/cost-per-square-foot-of-college-building-types-by-r
egion/. 

 

The Presbyterian Health Foundation Conference Center rental rates for
the videoconference-capable space are the following: $200/hr; $600/1/2
day; $1,000/day

http://www.phfcc.com/facilities-executive.htm

 

Andrea Deaton, OU, said that they do not typically use space as an
inkind matching cost, because the F&A costs should cover the cost of
space. They use an average of $10/square foot cost on the OU campus for
those budget requests for actual space. The College of Continuing
Education leases property often, and they get an actual quote for cost
of actual property that they want to lease. It must include all the
attached services, such as utilities, custodial services, parking, etc.
as applicable. 

 

A best practice for requesting funds for space will be to go to an
actual space that you want to lease or purchase with grant funds, and
get a current quote of cost from a realtor or owner. 

A best practice for estimating the value of inkind support in the form
of space is to be sure that space is not part of the negotiated F&A rate
for your university. If you are sure that space is not included, or if
you do not have a negotiated F&A rate, then use some of the information
above in calculating the value of your space.

 

I will be happy to help further in this quest for information! Just let
me know.
