For the past several months, we’ve been working with our advisory council to improve OSU’s University Venture Development Fund grant program. The program will move from once per year to now, twice per year, and we will be releasing the spring 2017 RFP this Friday – the submission deadline will be May 19th. Additional information:

Program Aims: The purpose of the funding is to facilitate development and commercialization of research inventions, tools, prototypes, software, digital content or other intellectual property (IP) created by OSU faculty and students. The funding plan should address one, or at most two key obstacles or opportunities that if successfully addressed within a six-month or less timeframe, would significantly increase the likelihood of out-licensing of intellectual property for commercial development either through a new OSU startup or an existing Oregon company.\

Funding Levels: Anticipated funding levels from the UVDF are up to $60,000 per proposal. Departments, schools, and/or colleges are highly encouraged to cash match funding up to $15,000 in addition to the requirement that they provide graduate student tuition support for their participating students. Approximately $250,000 is available for funding in this round of proposals.

I will send you the RFP directly Friday, as well as broadcast widely throughout OSU. If you have any questions, please let me know.

As it was announced at our COS Faculty Awards ceremony in February 2017 by our interim Provost Ron Adams, our college has established a “Faculty Scholars for Teaching Excellence Endowment.”
We have an exciting opportunity to select at least one of our colleagues to receive support from this endowment, with matching funds from the Provost, that recognizes excellent teaching and learning innovations.  Please visit the following website for details about this program (also attached):

http://www.osufoundation.org/s/359/images/gid34/editor_documents/content/givingopportunities/gifts_supporting_faculty/provost_s_faculty_match_program_june_2016.pdf?gid=34&pgid=61&sessionid=1522fd77-c864-4db7-be73-870ae5f0740a

Both tenured/tenure track and non-tenure track faculty in the College of Science are eligible for this recognition.  Our selected COS Faculty Scholar will be a critical contributor to the University’s broader Student Success Initiative, be recognized by the community of practice, and committed to sharing teaching practices that are proven to engage students and increase their success at OSU and beyond.

The first step in this process is to form a selection committee to establish a selection process and a timeline.  Please respond to me by April 24 with the names of nominees for the selection committee.  Self-nominations are also welcome.  Potential nominees for the Faculty Scholar Award should not be member of the selection committee.

Thank you,
