At the same time, however, ORDA is quite aware that opportunities to secure external funding are very limited in some fields, and proposals in these fields will not be disadvantaged in the new program. These awards will be made after review by the dean and associate deans of the Graduate School, rather than by faculty review committees. The ORDA staff and I are excited about these changes and opportunities, and we hope you will be too. The following awards were approved in the fall round of competition for the SIUC internal research grant programs. The SIU Edwardsville Graduate School will be hosting two workshops for principal investigators on using NSF's FastLane system.
Registration is required because space is limited.
Departments may want to consider sending personnel who enter FastLane data for investigators to one of these workshops. You can access these reports from any campus computer. You can also access the site from off-campus, but you will have to dial in to the SIUC system servers. The Arts and Humanities Funding Reports are published bi-monthly and contain deadlines for the upcoming two months. The National Science Foundation is making awards for Integrated Research to Understand and Model Complexity Among Biological, Physical, and Social Systems.
