Office of Grant Development's Resource Faculty and Staff

OFFICE OF GRANT DEVELOPMENT'S

RE$OURCE FACULTY and STAFF

Description of the Office of Grant Development's Re$source Faculty and Staff

Beginning in 2002-2003, The Office of Grant Development wishes to honor those in the College of Education who seek to enhance their teaching, research or other areas of interests by developing grant applications. These faculty and staff will be recognized as Re$source Faculty and Staff. They are recognized because not only do they bring funding into the College of Education but they also become resources for other faculty seeking to develop grant applications. Ultimately, they also bring recognition to the College and the University.

HOW ONE IS RECOGNIZED

One may be named as a Re$ource faculty or staff in one of two ways. Re$ource Faculty are those who have one or more grant applications funded in a given year. Honorary Re$ource Faculty and Staff are those who submit grant applications that are not funded or those who participate in funded applications of which they are not the principal investigator.

Honorary Re$ource Faculty and Staff will have their names posted on the Honorary Re$ource page on the web site of the Office of Grant Development. Re$ource Faculty and Staff will have their pictures, their source of funding, and the date of the award posted on the web site.

Finally, the names of Re$source Faculty and Staff will be engraved on research plaques, which will be posted outside the Office of Grant Development. Both Honorary Re$ource and Re$ource Faculty and Staff will be recognized at the spring awards celebration of the College of Education.

RATIONALE FOR RECOGNITION

Developing grant applications takes time, energy, creativity, and persistence; and the Office of Grant Development wishes to applaud this effort. If a grant application is not funded, articles and presentations can result from the research that has gone into developing the grant application. In addition, the applications can be resubmitted in the next competition if the agency allows, and/or they may be submitted to other agencies.

If faculty participate in preparing applications for which they are not the principal investigators, they again must commit time and energy to the projects and also deserve recognition; for their efforts, too, can result in presentations and publications.

If grant applications are successful, time, energy, and persistence are required as successful applicants must devote long hours to accomplishing the goals and objectives set forth in their proposals. This, in turn, leads to travel, preparation for presentations at conferences, writing, and seeking venues for the publication of the results of their work. More work is generated as colleagues from across campus and across the nation seek out these successful people to assist them with their projects, often more grant applications.

Second, faculty who present grant applications merit our recognition; for when grant applications result in
funding, the work of each of these faculty is enhanced but so is the work of the College of Education. Funding may provide much needed equipment and supplies that ultimately benefit the entire College. Also funding brings renown to the College of Education as applicants make presentations and publish articles.

Finally, seeking funding for research advances not only the cause of the faculty and staff and the College of Education, but it brings recognition to the University. Too, as a research university, it is imperative to generate funds to accomplish the types of work that the research status necessitates. State dollars are not sufficient to generate the resources that are needed to support the work of the research university.

The Office of Grant Development wishes to honor those among us who seek funding for these and many other reasons.
