NSF – Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences (OEDG) – Track 2

The Research Office, Incentive Programs is requesting letters of intent for the NSF – OEDG-Track 2 program.

Deadline to the Research Office, Incentive Programs: Monday, July 30, 2012

The OEDG Program is designed to address the fact that certain groups are underrepresented in the geosciences relative to the proportions in the general population. The primary goal of the OEDG Program is to increase participation in the geosciences by African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans (American Indians and Alaskan Natives), Native Pacific Islanders (Polynesians or Micronesians), and persons with disabilities. A secondary goal of the program is to increase the perceived relevance of the geosciences among broad and diverse segments of the population.

Track 2: Full-Scale Projects – This Track supports longer-term activities that will identify and promote pathways to geosciences careers among members of underrepresented groups. It is expected that Track 2 proposals will establish programs that are sustainable without additional OEDG funding.

Guidance for preparation of letters of intent to the Research Office, Incentive Programs: http://oregonstate.edu/research/incentive/nsf_oedg_track2

NSF – OEDG – Track 2 program information: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10599/nsf10599.htm

Re: Industry Funded Research at OSU

We are making significant changes in the Research Office to enhance the University’s capability to rise to one of the President’s top three priorities: significantly increase university-industry partnering through sponsored research, new business development, and commercialization of research. On July 2, the responsibility for industry funded research agreements will transition from the Office of Sponsored Research to the Office for Commercialization & Corporate Development.

This change is intended to be a major service enhancement for faculty, staff and students, engaging early in the process and emphasizing cross-unit communication. The net result is to operate at the speed of business.  Additional details are on the attached talking points.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since receiving this email, I have received several inquiries on how this may affect proposal preparation and routing via the new Cayuse system.  I was able to get some confirmation on the matter this afternoon –

It turns out that industry-sponsored proposals &/or those with industry partners will be prepared and submitted as with any proposal and no special routing to the Office for Commercialization and Corporate Development (OCCD) is necessary (or even possible for that matter).  The new changes outlined below take place specifically at the contract stage; the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) will still review the proposal application but will no longer take the lead in reviewing/negotiating/executing industry contracts.

That said, if you have a proposal that you would like reviewed by someone in OCCD, you can add them as an individual to the Investigators/Research Team screen, with a role of “Other Participant (no routing)” and they will be able to view your proposal when logged into the Cayuse system.

Please share with your faculty.

Thank you,

Liz

There has been an unusually high number of bikes being stolen off of the bike racks right outside WNGR in the last couple of weeks.  Last week alone, off one rack on the Gilbert side of WNGR, 3 bikes worth well over $1000 each were stolen.  Can you please share with the department and the other departments that may be in the building to be on the lookout for fishy behavior around the bike racks.  I understand that many employees and professors ride their bikes to work.  I feel they should be informed of the heightened threat of theft around WNGR.  Also if people are aware they may notice unusual behavior that would normally be overlooked, like someone who revisits a bike rack often but doesn’t lock up their bike or even have a bike.  Or someone who just looks out of place, or takes too long to “unlock” their bike, and etc.  I would appreciate it if you could get the word out for me.  My bike was one of the ones that was stolen last week, and I don’t wish for anyone else to go through an experience like that.
