Figures include grant awards, service contracts awarded to University Centers and Institutes, and sponsored programs awarded to the Ball State University Foundation. FY 12‐13 brought $20,237,307 in external dollars to BSU, representing a 43% increase over the previous FY. 532 proposals were submitted during the fiscal year and 267 funded awards were recorded. As always, we extend our deep appreciation for all those who put in the hard work required in preparing grant proposals – awarded or not – and recognize the additional productivity and commitment proposal preparation requires. In addition, we recognize the skill and dedication by the entire research enterprise at Ball State: the Sponsored Programs Office, Contracts and Grants Office, Office of Research Integrity, and the Ball State Innovation Corporation. Highlights of the previous year, which are detailed within this report include: the creation of the Advance Proposal Development program, which combined a number of existing SPO programs with the goal of increasing proposal quantity and quality; the second annual Grants Information Session, featuring keynote speaker Richard Dunfee of the Grants Resource Center; and two sessions of the SPO Fellows program to provide an educational opportunity for new faculty to develop grant‐writing skills and knowledge.

  • Phases of Southeastern Indiana History by MISS VIDA NEWSOM,Columbus
    Phases of Southeastern Indiana History By MISS VIDA NEWSOM,Columbus. (Presented at a meeting of the Jennings County Historical society, August 19, 1922, on occasion of Vernon Homecoming.) It has been interesting to learn something of the accomp- lishments and plans for future usefulness of your county his- torical society. The history of Jennings county, in general, is more or less characteristic of that of other counties in this vicinity and of the entire state. There are, however, several outstanding historical features in this section of Indiana, which were of such considerable significance in the making of our great state, which entered so forcibly into the lives, the early struggles and hardships of our forebears, the pioneers, that they well deserve special mention on this occa- sion. The topic assigned me for discussion, “Phases of South- eastern Indiana History”, affords a wealth of material. So numerous are the aspects of history that have contributed to the development of our great commonweealth in South- eastern Indiana alone, that it: would seem that we of this generation have, indeed, come a long way, and I have realized anew in making this study, and perhaps more forcibly than ever before, how much we owe to future generations if we are to prove worthy of the trust that has been imposed upon us by our ancestors, the Indiana pioneers. But in any retrospective glance of this subject our atten- tion usually reverts, first of all, to the aboriginal inhabitants of this country, to the American Indian. If we are kindly dis- posed and just in this reflection we think of him first in his native state, before he was confronted with the necessity of battling for his home as a result of the coming of the white man who was ever encroaching upon his territory.
