[Okgrantsmanship] FW: NCURA Global Fellowship – Easier Qualifications / Host Institutions Needed in Region V

Tue Jul 29 13:47:48 CDT 2014

The email message below from Denise Wallen from NCURA (and others) explains the Global Research Management Fellowship program and the responsibilities and benefits to a host institution. I completed two weeks in London, and learned a great deal as well as helped to facilitate some internationally collaborating research projects.

I sincerely encourage you to consider becoming a host institution for the program. The benefits are high for both entities, the fellow from another country and your researchers and research facilitators on your campus. The responsibilities are quite easily met, and you all will thoroughly enjoy the experience. Please let me know if I can help with any deliberations.

Sincerely,

Do not be afraid to give your time to writing grant proposals. 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.

Subject: NCURA Global Fellowship – Easier Qualifications / Host Institutions Needed in Region V

Dear Linda,

NCURA’s Global Research Management Fellowship<http://www.ncura.edu/MembershipVolunteering/Programs/NCURAInternationalFellowship.aspx> program is happy to announce a change in requirements that will allow more members to apply.  This two-week program, which allows NCURA members to learn about research management practices at an institution located outside their country, has lifted the five-year membership requirement for those members whose institution makes a commitment to be a Host Institution for other NCURA Fellows.

There are no direct costs to Host Institutions.  Instead, we ask for the following commitments:

·         One designated staff member to act as Host and who will be the main point of contact at the Institution.

·         Desk space and appropriate equipment (computer, network access, printing access, etc.).

·         A structured program that engages the Fellow and enables him/her to learn about research administration and management in your country.

·         Cultural exchange and networking opportunities.

·         Meetings with appropriate staff and agreed time to reflect on mutual learning.

·         Advice on housing/hotel accommodation options and local information regarding travel, shopping, etc.

·         A written evaluation of the Fellowship visit and the mutual learning outcomes for both Host and Fellow.

The benefits to Host Institutions are:

·         The opportunity for you and your staff to learn about another country’s perspective on research and another institution’s management practices.

·         Demonstrating how your institution conducts research administration.

·         Connecting with a colleague from another country and from an institution where your faculty may already have collaborative research projects.

·         Enhancing international research collaboration networks for your institution.

In addition, please see two testimonials from NCURA members who have hosted Fellows at their institutions:

1.       Dan Nordquist<https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BaFTBQeBkKA> of Washington State University hosted Roberto Chincarini from Fondazione Edmund Mach (Italy)

2.       Norm Hebert<https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=B8xRqHb-3lw> of Brown University hosted Mette Sollihagen Hauge from the University of Oslo (Norway)

Also, according to Tom Wilson of Rush University who hosted two Fellows – one from Portugal and another from South Africa – he “learned as much from the experience as they did.”

Finally, in order to ensure that there is adequate geographic and institutional diversity among our Host Institutions, we are at this time looking to increase the number of Host Institutions in Region V.  We hope that you will consider becoming a Host Institution.

For more information, including the Host Institution Commitment Form, please see the NCURA Global Fellowship webpage<http://www.ncura.edu/MembershipVolunteering/Programs/NCURAInternationalFellowship.aspx>.  And finally, we highly encourage you to consider applying for the Fellowship when the call goes out later this year.

Best regards,
