Nowadays "one stop shopping" has become the norm – from the International Mall adjacent to Tampa International Airport to the Mall of America and Super-Target in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Legend has it that the phrase originated in 1930 from a slogan used by a Lincoln, Nebraska auto repair shop. The shop declared, “Have it all done in one place. Save your time. Save your money!”
Consistent with this historical tidbit, the theme of this First Edition of the College of Education, Office of the Associate Dean for Research, Research Grants and Contracts Faculty Guide (September 2006) is one-stop shopping – everything that you would want to know about seeking, securing and processing research and training grants and contracts all in one place.
To this end, the Office of the Associate Dean for Research is ready to serve faculty and department office managers in the following areas:
-
Provide one-on-one assistance to faculty on the research grant and contract pursuit and pre-award process;
-
Provide one-on-one assistance to faculty on research grant and contract opportunities at the local, state, regional and national levels;
-
Provide one-on-one assistance on the post-award process with regard to grant/contract processing and closure;
-
Develop and maintain databases on national, state and local trends in public (government) and private (philanthropic) funding for dissemination to COE faculty.
-
Work with groups of faculty and students to seek grants/contracts as a collective;
-
Work to advance interdisciplinary research among faculty within the College of Education and other academic units on campus;
-
Maintain and distribute periodically faculty research interest listings to facilitate communication and grant/contract sharing opportunities among faculty and students;
-
Work to enhance the College of Education institutional relationships with key and potential investors in the private and public sectors.
-
Work with faculty to ensure that research pursuits and pre- and post- award grant/contract processes are in compliance with University, state, and federal research guidelines with respect to: (a) Proposal submission guidelines, (b) Institutional Review Board (IRB) Human Subjects guidelines (c) Conflict of interest regulations, and (d) Grant/contract term processing requirements.
The Office of the Associate Dean for Research is hopeful that you will find this Guide and the research services that we provide useful as you play a vital role in helping the University and the College to fulfill our “research” and “community” mission to make the world a better place.
