University Policy #2201 requires proposals for external funding to be routed though OSP at least five full workdays prior to the agency’s target date for mailing.  In addition, OSP is required to review budgets and proposals, and collect documentation related to budget development and administrative approvals for the project.  By overlooking these requirements and turning in a last minute proposal, OSP just becomes one more administrative headache in achieving your objective.  After you turn in the proposal, the OSP still must collect the documentation and secure the approvals prior to the final submission. Unfortunately, that process just became rushed and adds little value to the quality of the proposal.  However, by communicating with us early in the proposal development process, it is likely that we can ease your proposal development workload, remove some burdens, and ultimately add value to your proposal.

For example, did you include ‘airport parking’ in your travel budget?  Did you include FICA tax in the salary calculation?  Did you use the current allowable indirect cost rate? Will your proposal be arbitrarily dismissed by the sponsor because of an incorrect font size or because your vita is too long?  Wouldn’t you like to have someone identify and correct those problems before the proposal is submitted?  OSP can perform these services and more, but only if we have an opportunity to work with you early in the process.

Some services we perform, if given time and opportunity to do them, are converting your draft budget justification document to a readable excel budget template; confirming salaries and personnel expenses for proposed employees; development of a travel budget amount related to destination, length of stay, number of people and allowable per diems; resolving questions related to inconsistencies between the scope of work and the budget before the sponsor finds them; copying and mailing proposal documents.

We look forward to serving you proactively and preparing the best possible funding proposals so we can all enjoy our holidays!

Universities and researchers can improve their chances of getting grants from the federal government by "studying the study section's membership roster" when applying to the NIH for awards. These and other tips are included in a special feature offered by Science magazine, which also includes strategies on making it to the "top of the pile" when applying for a new researcher grant and when seeking funding from the National Science Foundation. (To view the complete article, click on the link, "The NIH R01 Tool Kit" at the Science Career 's website at: http://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org/career_development/previous_issues/(year)/2007/(month)/07/(day)/27).

Integrating research into the curriculum is a growing practice in American universities and is being further supported financially by federal research agencies. At JMU, scholarly research and creative endeavors are necessary components of higher education. JMU strongly supports undergraduate research. Allowing undergraduate students to participate in faculty/student mentored projects provides a unique educational experience that contributes to the students’ personal growth.

This year's deadline for submission of JMU internal applications for students to attend either the 2008 National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) or the Colonial Academic Alliance (CAA) Undergraduate Research Conference is Friday, October 26, 2007 by 12:00 p.m.

NEW ELECTRONIC PROCESS: To aid in the application process, JMU internal NCUR/CAA applications are now available through the Sponsored Programs' website at http://www.jmu.edu/sponsprog/UndergradResearch.htm. Please note the first stage of the internal application process is completely electronic. In order to be considered as a representative at either conference you must follow the instructions listed and submit your application packet electronically to Sponsored Programs at jmu_grants@jmu.edu by the deadline. Please contact 568-6872, if you have difficulty submitting your application packet.

The CAA conference brings together student representatives from the 12 Colonial Academic Alliance (CAA) institutions to present their scholarly and research endeavors to a gathering of their peers. The conference is an opportunity for students to share their work with their peers in a professional setting. Participants will represent an array of disciplines from the traditional sciences to the humanities, fine arts, social sciences, and professional schools. Attendees will also have opportunities to hear a high-profile keynote speaker and to gather information about graduate school admission and career preparation.

• The National Science Foundation invites applications for Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM). This program makes grants to institutions of higher education to support scholarships for academically talented, financially needy students, enabling them to enter the workforce following completion of an associate, baccalaureate, or graduate level degree in science and engineering disciplines. Grantee institutions are responsible for selecting scholarship recipients, reporting demographic information about student scholars, and managing the S-STEM project at the institution. This is a 3-year Program Solicitation.  The due dates for proposals have been changed so that they are earlier in the academic year. Thus each successive deadline in this Solicitation is about 9 months after the preceding one.  The program expects an annual deadline in August in 2008 and beyond.
• Funding: $50,000,000  to $70,000,000 (90 to 130 awards). Awards are normally not expected to exceed $600,000 in total. Annual budgets are limited to $225,000. (The annual budget limit has been increased from $125,000 to $225,000, and the overall maximum grant size has been increased to $600,000.  These changes allow proposers to ramp projects up or down during the grant period, rather than distributing funds evenly across budget years.)

• The Directorate for Engineering (ENG) at NSF offers a research initiation grant funding opportunity with the goal of broadening participation to all engineers including members from groups underrepresented in the engineering disciplines. Broadening Participation Research Initiation Grants in Engineering (BRIDGE) is intended to increase the diversity of researchers who apply for and receive ENG funding to initiate research programs early in their careers, including those from under-represented groups, engineers at minority serving institutions, and persons with disabilities. By providing these funding opportunities, ENG intends to further broaden participation of engineering researchers who share NSF's commitment to diversity in the following ways: (1) Expand the population of role models who will interact with an increasingly diverse student population, the workforce of the future. (2) Increase the number of engineering researchers at minority serving institutions actively and competitively engaged in research as independent investigators, thereby creating new research opportunities for students from underrepresented groups. (3) Fund engineering research projects that use innovative ways to attract and retain members of under-represented groups to careers in engineering.

• The PNC Foundation's priority is to form partnerships with community-based nonprofit organizations within the markets PNC serves in order to enhance educational opportunities for children, particularly underserved pre-K children through our signature, PNC Grow Up Great program, and to promote the growth of targeted communities through economic development initiatives. To build on this commitment, PNC developed PNC Grow Up Great, a 10-year, $100 million investment to help improve the school readiness of millions of children from birth to age five. As part of this initiative, the PNC Foundation has earmarked funds for grants to nonprofit organizations which work to directly improve children’s school readiness by providing support in one of the following key areas: social and emotional development, teacher training and arts and culture. By focusing our support in these critical areas, we hope to achieve greater results in school readiness, which will yield stronger, smarter and healthier children, families and communities.
• Funding: In 2005, the foundation provided $11.2 million for 897 grants. The high grant was $269,000 and the low grant was $40. Also, the foundation contributed $609,000 in matching gifts.
