ISBER Advisory Committee, Administrative, and Technical Staff ISBER Institute for Social, Behavioral & Economic Research University of California Santa Barbara Director's Statement 2013-2014 www.isber.ucsb.edu Director’s Statement July 1, 2013 – June 30, 2014 1. Background and Mission ISBER facilitates and enables social science research at UCSB by providing: 1) efficient pre-award through post-award grants administration, 2) research development assistance and stimulation through consultations and a small grants program, and 3) high level research services that are most efficiently delivered through an ORU to a broad audience of faculty, researchers, and graduate students. ISBER also fosters and supports topical research communities in the form of several research centers, research programs, and outreach activities housed within the unit. The administrative core of ISBER continues to provide exceptional levels of service to the social science community. MSO Jana Bentley manages the staff and closely monitors and adjusts workload as needed during her weekly staff meetings. She and I meet weekly to discuss any issues that require my input and we have evolved a solid basis for collaborative work and decision-making. When I took on the directorship of the unit two years ago, the mission of the unit was largely administrative and research within the centers was only weakly monitored. Over the past two years -- and in conjunction with the ISBER advisory board, VCR Witherell, and Dean Oliver -- some of the research centers have been reviewed and actions were taken to terminate or move those centers. Administrative action on three of the centers were completed during the 2013-14 academic year: 1) CASID -- Center for the Advanced Study of Individual Differences - - was closed, 2) SSSC -- the Social Science Survey Center -- was closed, and 3) CSISS - - the Center for Spatially-Integrated Social Sciences was transferred to the Department of Geography. I am continuing to work with the advisory board to develop guidelines for evaluating what constitutes a healthy research center. A major shift under my leadership has been an effort to use ISBER to deliver high level research services for the social sciences. The first move in this direction was pursued in conjunction with the closure of the SSSC. The SSSC had struggled for several years to develop a critical mass of survey-based research and training on campus to justify the substantial subsidy required to operate. Last year the decision was made to follow the lead of other research-intensive universities and to use a private sector vendor to deliver web-enabled survey research services. The College of Letters and Science now has a contract with the industry leader, Qualtrics, to provide this service and the license and access to the service is mediated by ISBER. After less than a year, Qualtrics is already providing more survey research services to the campus than the SSSC did over the course of its existence. The second research service offered through ISBER will be a secure-server for social science 1 computing. The server has been under development throughout 2012-13 and will officially launch during the next academic year. The goal is to provide a single, centralized source for secure computing needs that will allow researchers operating under secure-data agreements to have security exceeding the level offered by an isolated office (the current default) and to streamline the administrative process that is associated with using secure data. The development of the secure server has been a collaborative effort between ISBER, the Office of Information Technology, and a faculty committee. Other research services will be developed and deployed as opportunities arise within the social science division. The remainder of this report provides details on the research portfolio managed by ISBER, research development activities, and some accounting of the constituency we have served over the past year. For the financial picture, comparisons throughout are to prior year activities. In 2012-13, ISBER tracked the campus research activity overall in terms of registering reductions in grants submitted and awarded, reflecting a fairly dismal federal funding environment. In 2013-14 the slide appears to have ended with the total value of new awards, and the total value of awards managed, increasing slightly over the prior year. 2. Grants Administration at ISBER A descriptive picture of ISBER’s 2013-2014 grants administration is provided by the following statistics. For purposes of comparison, last year’s figures are in parentheses: • ISBER supported 106 (148) PIs and co-PIs on the projects it administered. • ISBER administered 277 (316) projects, including 124 (130) extramural projects, and 153 (186) intramural projects, programs, seed funding, conferences and other projects. • The total value of awards for the year was $4.0 million ($3.4m). • The total value of all funds administered, including multi-year grants administered was $24,311,015 ($22,314,923). • ISBER submitted 84 (95) proposals for funding and 63 (62) were from ladder faculty. • The value of the proposals submitted was $12.2 million ($11.4m). • The number of PIs new to ISBER was 19 (35), 12 (12) of which were ladder faculty. ISBER submitted 15 (23) graduate student proposals. 3. Research Development at ISBER ISBER serves the campus both through grants administration and through its research development programs. The ISBER grant programs not only enhance the research mission for the campus, but also reflect ISBER’s role in promoting social science and serving social science researchers. ISBER offers significant service to individual faculty in the pre-proposal 2 stage, both in working directly with researchers to help them formulate projects, and to identify potential funding sources and development of proposals. Graduate students are also the beneficiaries of ISBER’s research development support. Services provided include training in electronic funding searches targeted to specific research projects, funding opportunity advice and dissemination, conceptualizing and designing consultation for project development, and detailed proposal consultation. ISBER administers the Social Science Research Grants Program (SSRGP). ISBER Director Sweeney manages the selection committee and makes all decisions regarding NCE or post-award budget requests. This is an important research development activity that is intended to provide seed funding for new research, proof of concept funding for intellectually risky research, and is particularly targeted to junior faculty. Awards are made on a competitive, peer- reviewed basis with the review committee composed of senior social science faculty who have successful extramural funding track records of extramural funding. For the 2013- 14 proposal round the committee was composed of Sarah Anderson (Bren), Stephen Weatherford (Political Science), Eve Darian-Smith (Global), and Diane Fujino (Asian American Studies). In 2013-14, the SSRGP received 14 (15) proposals from social science faculty, requesting $108,906 ($98,551) in support. We awarded 6 (9) grants to faculty members in 6 (7) departments. Award sizes ranged from $5,695 to $8,000. Only 3 of the 14 proposals were from junior faculty and all three received awards. Also, please see details on further research development activities provided by Dr. Barbara Walker in the next section of the report. 4. ISBER’S Support of the UCSB Community Although ISBER is nominally the campus’s social science ORU, in fact it serves the entire campus community. During the past year, ISBER had 255 paid employees engaged in research or supporting ISBER’s research mission. This included 33 faculty members receiving salaries or stipends, 5 academic coordinators or others receiving administrative stipends, 3 professional researchers, 13 research specialists or project scientists, 7 postdoctoral scholars, 98 graduate students, 28 undergraduate students (as well as 238 unpaid volunteers or interns), 35 technical staff and 33 administrative staff. This year, there were an additional 14 persons from outside UCSB participating in ISBER-managed UCSB projects. During the past year 58% of its 106 faculty members who were paid or unpaid PIs and co-PIs were members in the Social Science Division of the College of Letters and Science. ISBER researchers come from 33 different departments in all three divisions of the College, including: Anthropology Gevirtz Graduate School of Education Asian American Studies Global & International Studies Black Studies History Bren School of Environmental ISBER 3 Science and Management Center for New Racial Studies Letters and Science Chemical Engineering Linguistics Chicana/Chicano Studies Materials Research Lab Communication Mathematics Computer Science Mechanical
