All,

Please forward the following funding opportunity announcement to faculty that may be interested.

NSF – Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM)

This program makes grants to institutions of higher education to support scholarships for academically talented students demonstrating financial need, enabling them to enter the STEM workforce or STEM graduate school following completion of an associate, baccalaureate, or graduate-level degree in science, technology, engineering or mathematics disciplines. Grantee institutions are responsible for selecting scholarship recipients, reporting demographic information about student scholars, and managing the S-STEM project at the institution.

Each college needs to screen the pre-proposals within their unit. The Dean will determine the proposal to be sent on to the Office of Sponsored Programs and to represent Oregon State University for submission to NSF.

NSF – Limit on Number of Proposals per Organization:

1. An institution may submit one proposal from each constituent college or school that awards eligible degrees. (For example, a university with a College of Engineering, a School of Life Sciences, and a College of Arts and Sciences could submit one proposal from each for a total of three. However, within a College of Engineering, if the Department of Electrical Engineering were submitting a proposal, a proposal from the Department of Mechanical Engineering could be submitted only in a subsequent year. The two departments could also submit a proposal jointly.)
2. An institution without constituent schools (for example, a 4-year college or a community college) may submit one proposal each year.
3. An institution that is part of a larger system is considered separate for this purpose if it is geographically separate and has its own chief academic officer.

NSF Full Proposal Deadline:  August 14, 2012

Thank you,

Debbie

I am pleased to inform you that I have appointed Dr. Sandra Woods as Dean of the College of Engineering effective July 30, 2012.

 

Dr. Woods has been Dean of Engineering at Colorado State University for the past several years, and prior to serving as Dean, she served as Head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She held various other roles at CSU, including Interim Vice Provost for Special Projects, while she led their Office of International Programs, Division of Distance and Continuing Education, and Graduate School.

 

Prior to her roles at CSU, Dr. Woods was a faculty member and served in a variety of administrative roles here at Oregon State University. She obtained a B.S. in civil engineering from Michigan State University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in civil engineering from the University of Washington.

In addition to leading the College of Engineering, Dr. Woods will work in collaboration with the Dean of Business to promote economic growth and social progress as part of the Division of Business and Engineering.

Please join me in congratulating Dr. Woods on her new role, and acknowledging Dr. Scott Ashford for his outstanding service to the College and University as Interim Dean of Engineering.

There will be another Cayuse training session offered on July 12, from 9am-10:30am in MU 211.  Faculty and staff can send an e-mail to sponsored.programs@oregonstate.edu to reserve a seat in this session.
