  1. Funding Resources and Research Development at UCI UCI Department of Education January 8, 2010

  2. Simple as Pie: Universities Grow + Flat Budget Tougher Competition

  3. How can an institution get a bigger slice of the funding pie? • More competitive proposals • Larger proposals • More collaborative proposals • Greater persistence – resubmissions

  4. Research Development at UCI • RD Offices are distributed around the campus and UCIMC • Not all have “Research Development” in the name • Not all do the same things; not all do RD full time • The UCI RD Professionals Group shares information and collaborates on projects

  5. What does Research Development in the Office of Research do? • Writing and editing proposals

  6. Before . . .

  7. … After

  8. How much writing and editing?

  17. What else does Research Development do? • Writing and Editing Proposals • Disseminates Info on Funding Opportunities

  18. UCI Fundopp • Began as listserv in Contracts and Grants – focus on NSF opps • Research Development launches 1994 Fundopp expands agency coverage; adopts summary format • Fundopp edited by grad interns 1995-97 • Quantitative Increase 1996 (Beth Riley 600 -> 800) • Quantitative Explosion (Beth full time) • Now more than 1,200/year

  19. Does Research Development do anything else? • Writing and Editing Proposals • Disseminates Info on Funding Opportunities • Publishes GrAnteater Newsletter

  20. Is there anything else that Research Development does? • Writing and Editing Proposals • Disseminates Info on Funding Opportunities • Publishes GrAnteater Newsletter • Hosts Funding Search Engines

  21. Funding Opportunity Search Engines

  22. Those search engines seem confusing. Any help for that? • Writing and Editing Proposals • Disseminates Info on Funding Opportunities • Publishes GrAnteater Newsletter • Hosts Funding Search Engines (with custom searches available by request)

  23. But does Research Development help Graduate Students with Proposals? • Writing and Editing Proposals • Disseminates Info on Funding Opportunities • Publishes GrAnteater Newsletter • Hosts Funding Search Engines • Comments on Graduate Student Proposals

  24. What about faculty collaboration? Are there any resources for that? • Writing and Editing Proposals • Disseminates Info on Funding Opportunities • Publishes GrAnteater Newsletter • Hosts Funding Search Engines • Comments on Graduate Student proposals • Support for Faculty Profiles

  25. Research Development in the Office of Research • Operating since 1994 • Active Campuswide • Staff of 2.5: Director, Editor and .5-time Undergraduate Intern • Looking for opportunities to increase UCI’s competitiveness for funding

  26. Thank you for listening.
