• Identifying Funding Opportunities

Many federal agencies and foundations offer grants, awards and fellowships that limit the number of applications that can come from one institution or require special handling. In order to comply with agency and foundation guidelines and increase the chances of Indiana University (IU) succeeding in such limited submissions and special handling opportunities, IU policies and procedures are in place and are utilized by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and other IU research offices to facilitate internal coordination and competitions.

Individuals interested in responding to limited submission opportunities must inform the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research about their intent to apply to a given limited submission opportunity, such that they can be included in the internal review and selection process. Failure to do so may disqualify individuals from consideration for submission to the funding opportunity.

Individuals interested in a limited submission opportunity or have any questions about the internal coordination process, contact Etta Ward at emward@iupui.edu or 317-278-8427. For a description of upcoming limited submission funding opportunities, as well as guidelines and application forms, go to: http://ovpr.indiana.edu/limsub/limsub.asp.  Please note that this is not a comprehensive list, and that any external funding opportunity that imposes any type of submission limitation is subject to the IU limited submission policy and procedures.

In some cases, the IU leadership may deem it appropriate to implement special handing processes, even if the agency or foundation does not.  The Special Handling List is compiled and maintained by the Indiana University Foundation office of Corporate and Foundation Relations. Please contact Bobbi Bosch at 317-278-5648 or bsbosch@indiana.edu, if you have any questions regarding this list.  IU Authentication is required to view the following links:

Genevieve Shaker Earns National Honors

Genevieve Shaker, Ph.D.

Dr. Genevieve Shaker, Associate Director of Development and External Affairs of the IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI, is the 2009 recipient of national Bobby Wright Dissertation of the Year Award. This is a prestigious annual competition of the Association for the Study of Higher Education. Dr. Shaker completed the dissertation as a HESA student in fall 2008. She will receive the award in November at the 2009 ASHE conference in Vancouver. The dissertation is entitled: Off the Track: The Full-time Nontenure-track Faculty Experience in English.

Additionally, she and colleagues Dr. Nancy Chism (School of Education) and Dr. Megan Palmer (School of Education), are being recognized for their rigorous research and its impact on the field of faculty development with the Robert J. Menges Award for Outstanding Research in Educational Development. Their work, titled, "Understanding and Supporting Full-time Nontenure-track (FTNT) Faculty: A Welcome Change," was one of only three chosen by the Menges Award Selection Committee and will support their presentation at the 34th annual Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education (POD) conference, "Welcoming Change: Generations and Regeneration," held in Houston, Texas, October 28 - November l, 2009. This award was established in 2000 by POD in recognition of Bob Menges, an honored scholar, whose long years of work and contributions to teaching and learning and faculty development in higher education can be characterized by his spirit of caring consultation, active participation, and rigorous research.

The Center for Research and Learning (CRL), associated with the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, is dedicated to the advancement of the research enterprise at IUPUI. Its vision is to create and sustain world class programs in inquiry-based student learning through innovative multidisciplinary collaboration and effective mentoring, and promote lifelong active learning and professional development. Its mission is to promote, create, and coordinate, through partnerships within and outside the institution, implementation of innovative inquiry-based learning programs that integrate research and education to provide students with effective pathways for lifelong active learning and professional development.

CRL is organized into four main program areas, identified as Undergraduate Research Programs, Diversity Research Programs, Professional Pathways Programs, and Summer Research Programs.  Through these program areas, CRL administers a multitude of internally and externally sponsored programs in support of students in schools and programs from across the IUPUI campus.   The following four examples are representative of the range of programs and services provided by CRL:

The Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Institute (MURI) facilitates the creation and support of multidisciplinary research teams that include faculty, staff, and students. Each team is focused on a project that is implemented during the academic year or intensively during the summer program. Students have participated on MURI teams with project titles as diverse as Electrospinning Nanofibers for Stem Cell Culture and Tissue Engineering to Determination of the Sulfur Content in the Functionalized Carbon Black or Fuel Cell Catalysts.  

The Diversity Scholars Research Programs (DSRP) is a performance-based program for academically talented undergraduate students who further contribute to the rich diversity of the IUPUI campus. Students are part of a vibrant community of scholars who become involved immediately in a research setting, and are actively involved in increasingly advanced research tasks in preparation for graduate and professional school studies.

The Preparing Future Faculty program is designed to introduce advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to the full range of knowledge and responsibilities to prepare them for positions in a variety of settings within higher education or other professional settings. As part of a larger effort to expand professional development in graduate education, PFF program objectives are to supplement the academic credentials of our graduate students, enhance marketability of PFF participants, support schools and/or departments in producing more effective and knowledgeable future faculty and provide the best possible preparation for future faculty in collaboration with each individual’s school and/or department.

During the summer the Center for Research and Learning provides a nine-week intensive experience for students from twelve different programs. Students spend about 75% of their time on their research project and 25% of their time attending professional development, social, and cultural activities designed to foster student success.

All of the students who participate in the CRL undergraduate research programs are required to present their research as a poster or oral presentation and write a research paper. At last summer’s poster session over 200 students from CRL participated in the well-attended event held at the IUPUI Campus Center.

IUPUI Professor Awarded Large Grant in Federal Stimulus Funding
By Shawna Woodall, IUPUI Journalism Student

Dr. Janice Blum, Ph.D.

Dr. Janice Blum, Associate Professor in Microbiology and Immunobiology, received the largest IU federal stimulus grant to-date, totaling $3.07 million, for her project “Poxvirus Modulation of Immune Responses.” As of September 15, 2009, $31.9 million of Federal Stimulus funds has been awarded to Indiana University, and 66% awarded to the Indianapolis campus.

Blum and her team will use the grant to further study the poxvirus modulation of immune responses. They began working on the poxvirus vaccinia vaccine to try and understand how immune cells detect and respond to the virus. They believe a better understanding of the effects of the virus on immune cells will allow them to develop an improved vaccine for smallpox and related viruses, new vaccines that could be used to promote the destruction of cancer cells in humans, and as platforms for HIV vaccines. She explains that understanding the interaction of these poxviruses is critical.

“This is a complex project as we plan to study the effects of the virus in the lung and other tissues,” says Blum. “The project has allowed us to bring together faculty with expertise in viral immunology, lung immunity and biology, allergic diseases an immune regulation.” Blum also has several new technical staff working on the project, graduate students and fellows.
The graduate students will work as a team for some studies to make the most of reagents and resources for their studies. Each student has a few specific research questions they will address which will be the basis for their thesis. These students and fellows will meet with external experts during their visits to campus. Additionally, these student researchers will have several mentors, hold bi-weekly meetings and conduct research presentations.

“Research studies also help us keep up-to-date on the latest technologies, which we can share in our discussion in class,” Blum says in reference to how her involvement in research is beneficial for students in the classroom, “and it provides students with a more tangible way to understand the models and theories we present in class.  Also, our studies in the laboratory are the best reminder of the importance of ethics and that we need to maintain high standards in all we do.”
The research team is a collaborative effort from several laboratories on camps including Dr. Ranky Brutkiewiccz from the Department of Microbiology and Immunobiology, Dr. Mark Kaplan from the Department of Pediatrics, Dr. David Wilkes from the School of Medicine and Dr. Blum’s laboratory from the Department of Microbiology and Immunobiology.

Research Opportunities Ignite Student’s Passion for Research
By Shawna Woodall, IUPUI Journalism Student

It all started with a flyer. “I saw it. I read it, and I said, ‘Maybe I can do this',” Olusola Egunyomi said as he points to the bulletin board where the McNair flyer once hung. “I applied. I was interviewed. I was accepted. And boom, that’s how my love for research grew.”

Five years ago senior Olusola Egunyomi, a Nigeria native studying journalism and international studies, came to Indiana University Purdue University – Indianapolis (IUPUI) by default. He knew someone who lived in the state and after doing some research, decided to attend. “I used to think research was something hard…I used to think that it was a time-consuming job, but research is worth the energy you expend,” Egunyomi says. He never saw himself doing research. Now, after his first summer as a McNair scholar in 2008 and as a participant in the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) in 2009, he has been highly motivated by it.

As a McNair Scholar, he has presented at national conferences such as the National Conference for Undergraduate Research (NCUR), giving him the opportunity to hone his oral and poster presentation skills and meet colleagues and experts he would not meet otherwise. The prestige of being a McNair scholar alone, Egunyomi states, places you ten steps ahead of the next person. “It shows that you’ve done research, been involved in research activities on campus and done some extensive work,” describes Egunyomi. “It also shows that you have the hunger and the passion to do research work.”

Egunyomi insists that he owes his future career in research to the leaders of the Center for Research and Learning (CRL), who have exposed him awe-inspiring experience. “They’ve been able to create a path for me,” says Egunyomi. “They have been able to open doors for me, and I know it’s going to open even more.” When describing his mentor, Egunyomi says Dr. William Foley from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs was a wonderful and brilliant guy who was always willing to help and communicate. “He’s been a father figure to me,” Egunyomi recalls. “I can always count on him. Whenever I have a problem, I can talk to him.” 

Since his exposure to research, Egunyomi’s career path has changed. Now, he hopes his career will center around his research topics, which explore the impact of U.S. foreign policy and the feasibility of a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  Egunyomi has already suggested to his peers that they become involved with research. He tells them it’s the opportunity of a lifetime and believes it’s the kind of experience one probably can’t find on another campus, especially with IUPUI’s emphasis on the RISE initiative.  “Research is part of the core value of the chancellor’s dream for this university,” Egunyomi says. “And every student should pursue it and explore what IUPUI has to give them.”

Dr. Lenore Tedesco cares a lot about the water we drink and how we can better manage this precious resource. She is an Associate Professor of Earth Sciences and Director of the Center for Earth and Environmental Sciences (CEES) in the School of Science, where she conducts research that addresses regional watershed, water supply and water quality issues with emphasis on algal blooms. Dr. Tedesco has developed an autonomous environmental monitoring network measuring water quality throughout central Indiana. Veolia Water has committed to a long-term partnership in the Center’s water resources research efforts to apply these research outcomes to other communities around the world. Additional research interests involve wetland restoration including evaluation of restoration strategies and wetland function. This includes studies of urban riparian reforestation, fen wetlands and on the distribution of anthropogenic pollutants.

Since coming to IUPUI in 1991, Dr. Tedesco has focused her scholarship on a host of environmental issues and mentored students of all ages. She is the recipient of several teaching awards and received a 2002 Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence for her work in education and outreach.  Her translational research has resulted in successful school-based programs to get kids excited about their environment and how to keep our water supplies safe and plentiful.

To support children’s understanding of and appreciation for clean and healthy waterways, this research has been translated into Discovering the Science of the Environment, an experiential, inquiry-based, outdoor laboratory focused science education program for 4th-9th grade classes in central Indiana.  Utilizing a mobile resource trailer equipped with interactive technology tools, web interface, and GIS mapping capabilities, the DSE program travels to provide free educational programming at school ground natural areas.  The program activities are tailored to participating schools’ ecosystems, course topics, and age ranges to encourage student engagement in environmental awareness and stewardship.

Dr. Tedesco also engages a number of IUPUI students in her work through the CEES Environmental Service Learning Program. This program works to enhance central Indiana natural areas and protect water resources while providing a rich educational experience for IUPUI students. Last fall, 270 IUPUI undergraduate students from 12 course sections university-wide participated in nine projects with five community partners. Long-standing partnerships with Indy Parks and Recreation, Indianapolis Department of Public Works, and the Central Indiana Land Trust allow for continual work on restoration projects and public awareness activities within key parks and natural areas of the Upper White River Watershed. Activities such as installing native wetland plant species at Southwestway Park, removing invasive exotic honeysuckle in Scott Starling Nature Sanctuary and installing storm drain markers, both on the IUPUI campus and within Indianapolis neighborhoods, are collectively making an important contribution to regional ecological health each semester. Visit www.cees.iupui.edu/service_learning to view project locations, activities, and images.

Professor Tedesco’s translation of educational models to help people learn about water and its importance for our environment is one example of how IUPUI's faculty members are translating their research into practice.  Read more about IUPUI’s Translational Scholars at www.trip.iupui.edu.

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research recognizes and congratulates all IUPUI faculty and researchers for recent awards received and helping to advance the IUPUI research enterprise. The following highlights those receiving $100,000 or more in external grants.

Faculty Writing Circle (Organizational Meeting)

When: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 | 12:00 PM-01:30 PM
Where: University Library, Room 1116

Cosponsored by: Center for Teaching and Learning, Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Office for Women

Faculty Writing Circles (FWC’s) are small groups of faculty who meet regularly to provide support and feedback about one's scholarly writing. Most groups involve 3-5 participants and provide a consistently scheduled support structure (e.g., weekly, semimonthly, monthly). In FWC’s, individuals receive feedback from peers in their discipline (or related disciplines) to enhance their efforts of writing for publication. In addition to receiving feedback on one's writing, research shows that those who write regularly are more productive with respect to scholarly writing (Gray & Birch, 2001; Steinert, McLeod, Liben & Snell, 2008). Writing circles can provide an incentive to be writing on a regular schedule. Because many FWC’s involve groups that are interdisciplinary, they can be a valuable way to connect with others on campus. FWC’s can also help members hone their skills in communicating about their scholarship to a wide audience.

For the inaugural session of Faculty Writing Circles, the focus will be on individuals interested in participating in circles related to: 1) arts and humanities; 2) health sciences; 3) women’s issues; 4) science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); 5) social sciences.

Faces and Races in Medicine

When: Thursday, October 22, 2009 | 12:00 PM-01:00 PM

Presenter: Richard Ward, Ph.D., School of Liberal Arts

Race and ethnicity persist as important constructs in clinical medicine where the terms are frequently confounded, misused and reflect a persistence of typological thinking. Anthropological perspectives on human variation offer a more effective means of understanding and utilizing interpopulational variation as it relates to disease expression, therapeutic success, and treatment. In this study craniofacial anthropometry has been used to study Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and in the process has revealed both general diagnostic features as well as what appears to be population specific features. This research supports the argument that there is as much variability within "traditional" racial and ethnic categories as between them.

The Legacy of Frankenstein: Regenerative Biology and Medicine

When: Thursday, November 19, 2009 | 12:00 PM-01:00 PM

Presenter: David Stocum, Ph.D., School of Science

Dr. Stocum traces the medical legacy of Frankenstein from the 19th century to today, from the assembly of body parts into a monster, to the regeneration of new tissues and organs. Current methods for replacing tissues and organs damaged by injury or disease, as well as new technologies under development, such as cell transplants and bioartificial tissues and organs, will be presented. A discussion on the bioethical dilemmas regarding the sources of cells to be used will follow.

Fulbright Workshop for Faculty and Professionals

When: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 | 02:00 PM-04:00 PM
Where: Butler University, Robertson Hall, Johnson Room

Presenter: Andy Riess, Ph.D., Senior Program Officer for Outreach and Communication at the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) will offer the workshop.

The purpose of this workshop is to explain Fulbright programs for American and visiting faculty and professionals. Special emphasis will be placed on research and lecturing opportunities available in 130 countries around the world.  There will be advice on how to make contacts abroad, how to prepare applications and what reviewers are looking for.
