Faculty Networking Pays Dividends
One can hardly refuse an offer of an all-expenses-paid trip to
Washington, D.C., particularly when the traveler is a faculty member
in search of research funds and the benefactor is the federal
government seeking to award funds. Dr. Carl Brun
of the WSU Department of Social Work took advantage of just such
an opportunity. With the additional support of the WSU Research Challenge
Early Start/Augmentation Program, Brun found himself in our nation's capital,
immersed in two days of technical assistance and discussion of the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) Career Development Award program in child abuse
and neglect.
How does one hear of such exceptional training opportunities? In Brun's
case, he subscribes to the Institute for the Advancement of Social Work
Research listserve, and a posted notification alerted him to this unique opening.
To apply for the workshop, Brun was required to write a 4 to 5 page letter
of interest addressing his commitment to a career in child abuse and
neglect research, his career development plan, his proposed research project, and
the resources available at his institution (and for potential collaborations).
Brun has been fully indoctrinated into the potential of collaboration.
Since arriving at WSU in 1993, he has progressed from small short-term
locally funded projects to a $275,000 grant from
Ohio Family and Children First.
His work with the 38 community-based agencies involved in that
project undeniably qualifies him as a "collaboration connoisseur." With
the added advantage of the NIH technical assistance workshop, he can now put
that education to use to polish a sound, scientific grant application for the
Career Development Award program.
What is the moral of this story? Sponsors clearly want to invest wisely
in excellent research and promising researchers, and often make
training opportunities available to potential grantwriters. The key is tapping in to
that training schedule. Faculty members are encouraged to develop their
own networks (by attending professional meetings, by society memberships, or
by subscribing to something similar to the aforementioned listserve) to be
informed of these openings.
It should be noted that the WSU Research Travel Grant Program
is intended to support travel related to the development of new research efforts
that have a high likelihood of being funded. Priority is given to requests that
seek support to visit sponsors to discuss pending proposals and future
funding opportunities. For more information on the Research Travel Grant
Program, please access the RSP homepage at:

Post-Award News
Don't Get Caught Short!
This is just a reminder to all Procurement Card users that
the statement close date on procurement cards is the
27th of each month. Occasionally, purchases are made
in one month and cannot be processed or shipped until the next month.
The charges for these purchases, and any purchases made after the
27th of each month, will be processed in
the following month or months—whenever the order is
completed and/or service performed. To avoid problems with charges coming
in after a grant or contract has expired, you may want to use an
alternative method of payment (DPO) during the last month of your
grant/contract. You may request that the
Controller's Office encumber the expenditures on the DPOs to give you
a more accurate reading of your balance and to prevent any problems
resulting from charges coming in unexpectedly after the account has been closed.
Also, RSP has instituted a new method to remind
Principal Investigators that it may be time to renew their procurement cards.
All procurement cards expire on the annual anniversary date of their grant
or contract. A reminder notice is automatically sent out to all
accounts two months prior to their current end date.
If you have procurement cards on these accounts, and
if you wish to renew them, instructions are
contained in the memo on how to do so. If you do
not have any procurement cards on
these accounts, you may disregard this announcement.
Salary Reallocation Reminder!
All salary reallocations for
FY98-99 are due in the Payroll Office by July 9, 1999. If you have a grant or
contract with a budget for salaries, please check to make sure all of the salaries
have been properly reallocated to the grant or contract for FY98-99. Please
direct questions regarding salary reallocations to either the business manager in
your college or school, or Research and Sponsored Programs staff,
Jackie Frederick (ext. 4459) or Glen Jones (ext. 4461).

Fall 1999 Workshop Preview
As we close the books on this last issue of Research
News for the 1998-99 academic year, it is time again to
begin scheduling University-wide training opportunities for the
fall quarter. The staff of RSP looks forward to offering
the following workshops to new (and returning) faculty and staff:
Faculty Orientation Workshop
Designed as an overview of the services offered by
RSP, new faculty members are particularly encouraged to
attend, but anyone interested in learning more about the office
is welcome.
- Date: Tuesday, October 12
- Time: 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
- Place: Student Union E156A&B
Post-Award Training
Geared to faculty and staff responsible for
expenditures processed on 66-ledger (restricted) accounts, the session
offers guidance in the area of post-award administration.
Date/Time/Place to be announced.
Funding Opportunities Workshop
Matching research interests with like-minded sponsors is
one of the first steps on the road to funding success, and
RSP subscribes to several electronic tools to smooth the trip.
Learn to use the Community of Science, Sponsored
Programs Information Network (SPIN), and The Grant Advisor Plus
in this one-hour hands-on session.
- Date: Friday, October 15
- Time: 12 noon to 1:00 p.m.
- Place: 032 Library Annex (Mac Lab)
Further details and registration information will
be published in the Fall 1999 issue of Research
News. Best wishes from the staff of RSP for a restful and
relaxing summer!
