Early Registration Date: April 4, 2014 Click here to access information on meeting registration and hotel accommodations CUR is hosting its 16th National Conference, "Creating the Citizens of Tomorrow: Undergraduate Research for All," in Washington, D.C. - a fitting location for its theme of democratizing undergraduate research! In situating the conference in our nation's capital, CUR will highlight cross-disciplinary connections and collaborations among higher education, government agencies, and non-profit organizations. The overall goals of the conference are to encourage broad participation in undergraduate research and to make visible its benefits to students, faculty, colleges and universities, and communities. Students who participate in undergraduate research are better prepared in their fields of study as well as more informed as citizens as they learn skills of problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication. But as faculty and institutions still face barriers to giving every student a significant research experience, this conference focuses on creative ideas and practical solutions for meeting those challenges. Conference participants will share strategies and models that have helped strengthen undergraduate research in their institutions-in plenary talks, an exciting variety of conference sessions, and through the informal networking that is a hallmark of CUR conferences. The CUR National Conference is a place where faculty, administrators, staff, academic partners, and policy-makers share peer-reviewed studies of undergraduate research and showcase models of undergraduate research activities at all types of colleges and universities, in all disciplines. Goals for the conference are to highlight the value of undergraduate research and for participants to learn from each other to broaden the opportunities for undergraduates to participate in undergraduate scholarly work. CUR National meetings are held every two years during the early summer in a variety of locations around the United States, usually for four days, and include diverse presentations types, including posters, workshops, interactive presentations, shared meals, and nationally-recognized keynote speakers. The knowledge and connections gained during informal conversations are always described by participants as program highlights.

The guidance, or Omni-Circular, consolidates eight OMB circulars into a single document and changes some fundamental concepts underlying the management of sponsored programs. This program will address the vital information that universities need to understand about what the guidance means and how it will affect our current policies and business practices. Is there still effort reporting? Can we buy iPads and laptops? Do we still have title to equipment vested in universities? How do we monitor subrecipients? Do we have to change the way we charge fringe benefits? The panel will provide current information about interpretations of those questions and many others. This guidance is the single most significant change in research regulations in the last 50 years. Join the panel for a review of its key elements.

Time given to planning proposals is never time lost, but is rather time gained, so that our research, our programs, our collaborations and indeed our whole profession may become more profoundly significant. The Grant Advisors has posted a new item, 'To Get that Federal Grant, Serve on a Peer Review Panel' So you want to apply for that smoking federal grant that could fully fund your pet project for the next five years. But, you don?t know where to start, with the application full of foreign terms, such as foundational priorities and logic models, that sound like grant writing landmines. The easiest solution-become a peer grant reviewer. The Grant Advisors suggest that the easiest way to become familiar with the grants program you want to apply for is to serve on a panel that judges the federal applications and decides who wins the awards. And, it is more uncomplicated than you might think. You may view the latest post at http://the-grant-advisors.com/2014/04/10/to-get-that-federal-grant-serve-on-a-peer-review-panel/ You received this e-mail because you asked to be notified when new updates are posted. Best regards, The Grant Advisors info at the-grant-advisors.com From lmason at osrhe.edu Thu Apr 10 14:55:22 2014 From: lmason at osrhe.edu (Mason, Linda) Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2014 19:55:22 +0000 Subject: [Okgrantsmanship] COS Update Message-ID: Some time ago (last fall) there was a lot of discussion about COS having made a transition from their standard funding opportunity search tool to Pivot and the significant increase in cost of the new enhanced offering. Many users felt left out in the cold as they either didn't need the awesome new features it offered or couldn't afford the price increase. I'd shared with everyone that we were in discussions with the COS team on licensing their data to offer through our Kwest product (similar to the old COS product but we feel more user friendly) and I said I'd provide an update. We tried diligently to work with the COS team assuming they'd see this as an opportunity but we were unsuccessful. Once it became apparent that we weren't going to be able to make this happen we decided to hire a couple of people to generate our own private data sources. So, if you're still looking for an affordable tool for faculty and research admin staff to find funding opportunities I'd encourage you to check out Kwest by visiting http://moderas.org/Funding-Opportunities and clicking on the "Start your free 15 day Trial" button. There's no obligation whatsoever, no credit card information necessary to take it for a test drive. our last client test drove it for about 4 hours before signing up. I will say we're finding Kwest addresses the biggest issue we've heard about such tools... that nobody uses them. Over the last month we've only seen one Sunday where users from our clients haven't been in the system searching, checking on search agent results that are emailed to them, or reviewing update notifications on their saved opportunities so it's definitely reaching the target audience. On a related update for those that may not know, the IRIS product was updated recently as well. A new company, Cazoodle, took ownership and updated the user interface so you may want to check them out as well as a good COS replacement. Their site is https://www.grantforward.com/index and they also offer a free trial.

CUR continues to work to keep conference costs low, and hopes that you will take advantage of the Washington, D.C. location and the well-below market hotel rate that we have secured for CUR Conference attendees. Due to the generous support of our sponsors, we are also offering a limited number of conference grants. These grants are available to those attendees with demonstrated need to subsidize the cost of attendance. We expect that these awards will be competitive; applicants from historically under-represented groups, minority-serving institutions, and first-time attendees will be given priority.

"TAPPING THE POTENTIAL OF ALL STUDENTS: DEVELOPING AND ENHANCING UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE SETTINGS" JULY 18-20, 2014, SOUTHEAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NE OVERVIEW AND INSTITUTIONAL ELIGIBILITY The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) was awarded a National Science Foundation - Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) Phase 2 Award in 2009 (DUE 0920083) to continue our partnership with the National Council of Instructional Administrators (NCIA) and expand the successful model of our annual, national-level Institutionalizing Undergraduate Research Institute to community colleges. Over the last three years, CUR and NCIA have hosted more than 300 faculty members at twelve different professional development workshops, designed to help launch undergraduate research programs in a community college setting. We are currently soliciting applications for our final workshop to be supported by this grant, and are seeking applications from community colleges with a commitment to developing and enhancing their undergraduate research programs. This grant-funded workshop will reimburse expenses1 for the selected institutions' team members to attend the regional workshop, with the exception of the teams' travel to the workshop. 1 Lodging will be covered as either one night in either of the conference hotels for one participant, or two nights for shared room For more information visit: http://multibriefs.com/briefs/cur/CCflyer2014.pdf If your institution is interested in participating in the July 18-20, 2014workshop, please send the information requested in the application no later than April 25, 2014.
