Full Service for You from the Ofice of Sponsored Programs Fall 2014 A Word from the Director

As budgets get tighter everywhere, funding becomes harder to find. Does that mean that you can’t get your idea for scholarly activity, research or creative thought the funding that you need? It takes a strategic plan to seek out the right fund- ing source and program. Long term planning is a must. OSP will be happy to meet with you to develop a plan to find and secure funding.

To assist you, OSP has a logic model on its website. Working through this model will help you identify what you need for your idea and who might be a part of it. The logic model will also help you crystalize your idea and further define it.

The Office of Sponsored Programs would like to help you make your funding dreams come true. At the end of this newsletter is a partial list of services that OSP offers. However, if you need assistance and don’t see the type of help listed, please give us a call.

OSP Spotlight Dr. Kevin Miller National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation Grant

Dr. Kevin Miller, a native of Indianapolis, Indiana, has been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry for almost 5 years and enjoys teaching and working with students in the areas of organic and polymer chemistry. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at the University of Dayton in Ohio and his Doctorate in Organic Chemistry from the Uni- versity of Notre Dame.

Dr. Miller, along with his Co-PI’s Dr. Rachel Allenbaugh and Dr. Daniel Johnson, was recently awarded a nation- wide Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) grant from the National Science Foundation in the amount of $149,940. The last time this grant was awarded to was in 2008. With this grant, the Department of Chemistry will be able to purchase a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer, which will be used to determine the mechanical properties of plastics and other materials. Murray State University now has a full instrumentation suite for researching polymers and materials (the Polymer and Materials Characterization Laboratory), which is something that many larger institutions do not have.

Dr. Miller and the department are hoping to attract new collaborations, additional funding and involve more stu- dents in polymer and materials science as a result of this grant. The instrumentation will also help support teaching efforts in the new Polymer and Materials Science degree track that is being offered by the Department of Chemistry and supported by the Institute of Engineering.

The MRI grant, along with several other recent awards, will help Murray State University’s Chemistry Department stand out from surrounding universities. It is the persistence the professors put into these grant proposals that make this type of funding and support for our departments a reality.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DATABASES

Info Ed/SPIN is a software provider to support Research Administration electronically. How can this help you?! There are two services provided by InfoEd that can benefit the researchers.

SPIN, is the world’s largest database of funding opportunities. This database can be accessed as a funding opportunity search engine. The link can be found on the OSP website in the Funding Opportunity section.

GENIUS is a central location for the researcher to house their curriculum vitae details. This takes the form of a profile created by the researcher. Through the profile the researcher also has access to email updates of funding opportunities tailored to their work. To set up a profile or to update a profile contact Wendy Wilson at [email protected] or access the user guide on the OSP website in the Funding Opportunities page.

Grant Resource Center provides a funding opportunity database that includes private and federal announcements. A link to the Grant Search database is located in the Funding Opportunities section on the OSP website. To obtain the username and pass- word required to access the database email [email protected].

If you:  need assistance in developing an idea  need assistance in determining a funder  would like to submit a proposal  would appreciate a review of your proposal  need assistance in preparing a budget  have questions about external funding
