Tell me if I am sending you stuff you are already getting.
I am not a big fan of forwarding, but today these things seem right on
point.

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Funding Services RFI?
"Self-serve approach" is the key here. I would argue that once a
person of
above average IQ is shown how to use the usual web-based search tools,
identifying a grant to apply for is easy...and certainly not a
limiting
factor in securing extramural funding.
A more enlightened grants development approach includes the more
difficult
tasks of getting people motivated to do their first sponsored
research,
helping them to navigate the 40 page RFA you throw at them, and
somehow
ensuring that there is guidance during proposal development.
An even greater challenge (if your goal is to increase funding) is
motivating the best people, who are already funded to the gills, to
apply
for more and bigger grants. To do this you need an information
dissemination method that is creative and customized.

Hello,
. I am trying to gather information on how other institutions provide
funding information services and would be glad to share the results of
this
survey with others. Arizona State University is moving towards a web
based
self-serve approach and any information about experiences in this area
would
be helpful. An overview of our current funding services setup is:
At Arizona State University 1 FTE is devoted to funding
information services to faculty and staff including:
* daily monitoring; review and dissemination;
* matching faculty to programs;
* performing searches;
* providing training on funding resources;
* maintaining faculty profiles database;
* providing funding analysis reports for research topics;
* limited submissions
Additionally, .5 FTE is assigned to maintain, update, and
publish news to the funding website.
Specifically, I would like to know any of the following that you can
share:
* Is there a person(s) in charge of funding information?
* How are new funding information opportunities discovered and
disseminated to faculty and staff?
* Are web resources enough? Do faculty use them? How do you
promote their use and/or provide assistance?
* Do you provide funding searches? By whom?
* Is training provided to faculty or staff on using funding
resources, i.e., IRIS, COS, SPIN, Federal Register, Grants.gov, etc.,
or how
to find funding for projects?
* Approximate FTE's used for funding services?
* Other duties?
Any comments or general information on how funding services are
provided is
helpful. I appreciate your assistance and time in responding and let
me
know if you would like to see the compiled results.
Have a great day,
Sheryl
