No brittle, cold porcelain perfection here, but a weight and a warmth and a humanity that defy the long chillystretches of glass and mar- ble, the blastsfrom the airconditioner. Remarkablyenough, Walter Koemer has been collecting ceram- ics-cultivating his sensibility-for some eight decades, since he was a child in Central Europe.“When I was a boy in school,” hehas written, “I first got the bug of collecting decorative ceramicobjects, usually plates and jars, created by Czechoslovakian peas- ant potters. With the encouragement ofmy mother, who had an unusual feeling for colour and the life of the people of our native land, I slowly began to build a collection.”Thecollec- tion expanded in scope and continued to grow after Walter Koerner emigrated to Canada in 1939 and established, with his brothers, animmensely suc- cessful forest products business. In- spired to shape the context of his ce- ramics, Koerner soughtout Italian, French, English, Dutch and German pieces, even after addingthe collecting of Northwest Coast native art to his interests.

c! Good ideas aren’t aomeone once said that a good deal of academic research can be done with just a pencil, paper and a wastebasket. For some faculty members at UBC, it’s true that researchrequires more time than money. Political science professor Kal Holsti, for example, accomplishes highly respected scholarship on a budgetof $1,000 a year.“Most of my costs arefor postage, phone calls,faxing, copying and enough when it word processing,” he says.“There are lots of ways to get that stuff done without large grants.” Holsti has held the prestigious Killam Research Fellowship, which has helped buy time for his international relations research. He also receives student assistance throughprograms such aswork-study. But he has managed comes to winning to avoid large grants with their paperwork and management demands. It is an increasing fact of academic life, howeves, that research requires considerable grant money. Especially in the natural sciences and medicine, scholars need financial help for equipment.computer time, payments to subjects, animal care, salariesfor technical assistants and supportfor graduate grants. Your students. Just how much grant money a scholar needs is highly variable. In the sciences, some individuals work on their own and have one or more annual, ongoing grants in the tens of thousands of dollars. Others work in teams with grants in the hundredsof thousands of dollars. ChrisFibiger. head of the Division application will be of Neurological Sciences, oversees a labwith an MRC budget of $450,000a year. WilliamOvalle and Bernie Bressler operate a research lab in the Anatomy Department, funded at a level of about $130.000 a year from several agencies. A group led by Donald Calne was awarded a$6.1 million grant from the Medical scrutinized as Research Council (MRC) in 1990. The money will be spent over five years, and involve 11 full-time and seven part-time faculty members, plus support staff. Though levels vary dramatically acrosscampus, the need for support touches all departments from Physics to English. UBC’s strategic plan for the 1990s stresses research, andcompetition for research money is very intense. carefully as your Rounding up money is an important partof the work of academics today,and takes a substantial portion of their time. “When I started out,” says Anatomy associate professor Joanne Weinberg, “1 spent 2-3 months per year, full-time, writing grant proposals.” The process does become easier, but remains time- research. consuming. But acquiring and keeping financial support requires more than time. It requires a whole set of skills and political sensitivities which have come to be called “grantsmanship,”or, in egalitarian language, “grantship.”Grantship is so essential anddemanding that several UBC departments have appointed faculty to help in the process. Patricia Vertinsky is associate dean in Education for graduate programs and research. Shegives workshops and one-to-one assist- ance to individuals applying for internal UBC grants and grants from other sources. There’s a lot tolearn about the system, she says. “Ultimately, grantsmanship is political. You have to know tHe rules of the game, bothimplicit and explicit.” The explicit rules are those which go into making up a good application. Proposals should be “consistent, clear, coherent,and articulate,” supportedby appropriate references, and aimed to produce potentially useful results, she says. (See sidebar). And the implicit rules? “You also need a political understanding of the process,” saysVertinsky. “You need to know who’s giving the grants,why they’re making the money available, and why they would want to fund one person or project over another.” Researchers need to know, as well, what lines of thought are current, and what paradigms prevalent. This subject touches a raw nerve,is thoughacknowl- edged as a reality of funding life. Most investigators agree that researchis more likely to be fundedif it conforms to prevailing concerns suchas multiculturalism or auto-immunity, and faculty members whose grants are turned down some- ~~

Here are a few of their thoughts. today. “It‘s amazing how many applicantsdon’t tell you clearlywhat they intend ‘They give you money,” he says, to do in their research. Write explicitly, directly, what you plan to do.” “and you use it in the best way you (Richard Spratley, Director of Research Services.) know how.

- 38 UBCAlumniChronicle, Fall 1991 If you're content to spend the rest of your career crunching numbers for others to manage, turn the page. The CMA designation is not for you. But if you're ready to become an executive decision-maker- to use financial information as a managementtool - CMA leads the way.

Two-thirds of the career opportunitiesin the accounting profession are now in the field of management accounting. Only one professional program is devoted solely to hands- on training in management accounting. The CMA Program. Whether you plan an executive career in the corporate boardroom, the publicsector or at the head of your own enterprise, as a CMA you'll have the edge. These three letters separate the managersfrom the number crunchers.

The "M" stands for Management

For more information on your future as a CMA, mail this coupon now or telephone (604) 687-5891 or 1-800-663-9646.
