program for Oklahoma

Hello Linda,

 

I hope this email finds you well.  It was really nice meeting you at the
NCURA Region V meeting in San Antonio this week.   As I mentioned
briefly, Elsevier is currently working with several competitive research
institutions across the United States to "beta test" our new suite of
Performance and Planning tools.  This includes the Funding Intelligence
tool we discussed.  

 

We've selected a group of institutions in the Texas and Oklahoma region
for this offer.  Several of the four year institutions in Oklahoma
including Oklahoma State University and University of Oklahoma (to name
a few), meet the profile for a beta testing partner. We would like to
extend an invitation for Oklahoma researchers and Research
Administrators to try our new Funding Intelligence tool at no charge for
60 Days!   

 

Please allow me to give you a brief synopsis of this product. SciVal
Funding is a web based solution that will cut a researcher or key
investigator's time and energy when looking for appropriate funding from
public or private grants.  We cover 4,000 different funding bodies
across the US and 1,000 international funding bodies. 

 

A researcher will log on at their terminal using IP authentication.
Within minutes the user will be able to find the appropriate funding for
their research based on "their" current areas of expertise and research
output.  The user will be able to save vital information into their
profile making the grant application process more efficient the next
time they are ready to apply for those much needed funds,

Our own intelligence has found that researchers now spend on average 1/3
of their time looking for adequate funding.  Also, 80% of the grants
that are applied for are never heard from again.  

This new tool can save time, money and FTE while increasing your chances
of getting those much needed funds!

 

These are just a few of the many uses for our new planning suite.  We
are still in the development phase of production and will provide you
with up to date information as it becomes available.

 

I have enclosed a PDF file that outlines some of the key benefits of our
new funding solution and requirements for the beta test.  Please share
this with your contacts internally.  If you would like to share your
contacts within these institutions with me, I would be happy to contact
them directly.    

 

Please note that the beta testing process will require some work on
behalf of participating institutions to help evaluate and share your
thoughts and experiences with the product.

 

If your associates are willing to work with us on this evaluation and
testing phase I can provide them with more detailed information as we
move ahead.  We look forward to working with you on this in the very
near future.

 

Kind regards,

Jerry
