funded at over $100 million by NSF and other research agencies, 1990-2000.

He developed, staffed, and directed two highly successful proposal development offices at Texas
A&M, one in the Texas Engineering Experiment Station (Office of Research Development & Grant Writing,
1994-2004), a state-wide engineering research agency with divisions at 14 universities, and the second
for the Vice President for Research (Office of Proposal Development, 2004-09), working across all
academic disciplines in 11 colleges.

She has helped to develop and write successful proposals to NSF, NIH, the Department of Education, the Department of Defense, and other agencies and foundations. In addition, she directed the university's New Faculty Initiative, working with new faculty to jumpstart their research by helping them to identify funding opportunities, develop a strategy for pursuing funding, understand funding agencies, and learn how to write competitive proposals.

Ms. Deckard also worked with faculty in Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions and Minority
Serving Institutions across the Texas A&M University System. Before joining Texas A&M, she worked for
16 years as a research engineer in industry, including at Lockheed Martin and Hughes Research Labs,
obtaining funding from DoD, DARPA and the Department of Energy. She has a B.S. in Materials Science
from Rice University and an M.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from Northwestern University.
