From lmason at osrhe.edu Mon May 21 10:05:06 2018 From: lmason at osrhe.edu (Mason, Linda) Date: Mon, 21 May 2018 15:05:06 +0000 Subject: [Okgrantsmanship] Suggestion from Dr. Mason Message-ID: Here is an article about OSU paring seasoned researchers with newer faculty members. I suggest that you, the Offices of Sponsored Programs, give thought to how you could implement such a pairing on your campus. Perhaps it would just be for a semester of scheduled discussion time over lunch. Perhaps it would be just one professional development session where the pairs come together to share a pre-set of questions. If funded researchers would consider adding a new faculty member to their research team in some way, just shadowing perhaps, that would be useful to promote grantsmanship/research and spread the accomplishments. Please give it some thought! OSU awards research pairing grants The Journal Record 5/21/2018 STILLWATER - The Oklahoma State University Office of the Vice President for Research has awarded grants of up to $20,000 to eight research teams that pair a seasoned researcher with a newer faculty counterpart on a specific project. Known as the VPR Mentor/Mentee program, the effort is designed to foster collaborative research at OSU and, through the guidance of established faculty members, help assistant professors develop research proposals for external funding from agencies such as the National Institutes of Health. The 2018 Mentor/Mentee grant recipients, departments and research projects (mentee listed first) are: * Daniel Lin, Nutritional Sciences, with Tyrrell Conway, Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, "Carotenoid Metabolism Improves the Gut Microbiome in Type 2 Diabetes." * Megan Williams, Veterinary Clinical Sciences, with Michael Davis, Physiological Sciences, "Naturally-Occurring Equine Obesity and Arthritis." * Wyatt Hoback, Entomology and Plant Pathology, with John Gustafson, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, "Proposal to Characterize Genes Involved in Burying Beetle Preservation of Meat to Improve Meat Storage." * McKale Montgomery, Nutritional Sciences, with Robert Matts, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, "HDAC inhibitors and P53 gene in cancer research." * Mario Borunda, with Dave McIlroy, both Physics, "Inverse Design of Advanced Materials for Catalysis." * Darren Hagen, Animal Science, with Astri Wayadande, Entomology and Plant Pathology, "Decoding the Role of Small RNAs in Cross-Kingdom Communication." * Henry Adams, Plant Biology, Ecology and Evolution, with Rodney Will, Natural Resources, Ecology and Management, "Regional Assessment of Defenses Against Bark Beetle Outbreak in Loblolly Pine Plantations: The Influence of Climate Variability and Forest Management Across the Southeastern United States." * Cara Blake, Veterinary Clinical Sciences, with Michael Davis, Physiological Sciences, "Importance of Obesity and Arthritis."
