The next Dean's Seminar in the 2001-2002 series will be held on Friday February 15, 2002 at noon (or after the Senate meeting). Steve Shore will speak on "Interstellar Weather: You Don't Need a Weatherperson to Know Which Way the Wind Blows."
This is a very short, unrepresentative list of funding opportunities. It only reflects those hard copy RFPs
that have been received by my office in the last month or so. A more comprehensive list of current funding opportunities
can be found on the IU Granstlink.
You can also search for funding opportunities using keywords from COS.

IU Intercampus Research Fund Grants from this fund are for projects involving more than one campus. They are intended to support new research and creative activities, or to supply modest support for ongoing enterprises at critical times. The maximum grant is $10,000, and most grants are considerably smaller. The fund can be used to support graduate and undergraduate research assistants, travel expenses for visits to other IU campuses, research materials, and non-routine supplies and equipment that are essential to a specific research enterprise. |

01-4 Defining a Sponsored Project vs. a Gift
Due to the varied but sometimes overlapping paths by which funding for sponsored projects and corporate
and foundation giving are solicited, it can be unclear to those involved whether the awarded funds fall under the
purview of the Indiana University Foundation or the research offices of Indiana University. The intended
purpose of this policy is to provide guidance in defining sponsored projects as well as provide a review process
for those cases that may seem unclear in the face of this guidance.

Impact of Research Getting More Emphasis At NSF
For a long time, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has had two review criteria. Many people have been uncertain
how to address the second criterion, which addresses the broader impact of the proposed work (copied in full below),
and frequently PIs choose to ignore this criterion altogether. In the recent past, this criterion has been used
as the tie-breaker to determine which proposal gets funded. In the future, NSF plans to take the response to this
criterion much more seriously. We have been advised that if the PI does not adequately address this criterion,
most program managers will return the proposals without review. The program officer's attention to the broader
impact criterion will be tracked at NSF now, so we can probably expect more attention to be paid to it at most
program levels. Reviewers will also be receiving more guidance on how to consider this criterion in their reviews.
Please note that the broader impact criterion is to be addressed in both the project summary and the project description. NSF has provided the following paragraph to help explain what should be addressed in response to this criteria:
All broader impacts resulting from the proposed activity, e.g., one or more of the following: how the activity will advance discovery while promoting teaching, training, and learning, broaden participation of underrepresented groups (gender, ethnicity, disability, geography), enhance the infrastructure for research and education, broadly disseminate results, and/or benefit society.
The following is the Grant Proposal Guide section on the broader impact criterion:
PIs should address these elements in their proposals to provide reviewers with the information necessary to respond fully to the above-described NSF merit review criteria. NSF staff will give these elements careful consideration in making funding decisions.
INTEGRATION OF RESEARCH AND EDUCATION One of the principal strategies in support of NSF’s goals is to foster integration of research and education through the programs, projects and activities it supports at academic and research institutions. These institutions provide abundant opportunities where individuals may concurrently assume responsibilities as researchers, educators, and students, and where all can engage in joint efforts that infuse education with the excitement of discovery and enrich research through the diversity of learning perspectives.
INTEGRATING DIVERSITY INTO NSF PROGRAMS, PROJECTS, AND ACTIVITIES Broadening opportunities and enabling the participation of all citizens -- women and men, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities -- are essential to the health and vitality of science and engineering. NSF is committed to this principle of diversity and deems it central to the programs, projects, and activities it considers and supports.
NIH is now requiring that all researchers show that they have passed an IRB Certification program in order to
submit a proposal to them. IUPUI is now requiring **ALL** researchers using human subjects to have this certification
in place before a protocol will be reviewed. This includes student researchers. It is not far off, that all researchers
at IU doing research involving human subjects will have to have this certification. IU has developed an on-line
certification program that meet NIH standards. I encourage everyone involved in human
subjects research to go through this online program at http://www.iupui.edu/~resgrad/Human%20Subjects/HumanSubjectsCourse.html
and become certified.
