12. Dean’s Office Report Emily Bouck Dean’s Fellow Proposal: Mentoring

13. Dean’s Fellow Proposal: Mentoring • Sought to explore a formal COE pre-tenure mentoring program or procedures • Two functions for mentoring: career-enhancing and psychosocial (Kram, 1985) • 3 types: traditional, peer, and group (Bland et al., 2009) • Read the research, spoke with university and college administrators, as well as interviewed faculty within the COE (thank you)

14. Mentoring • Research literature: value to mentoring (increased productivity and satisfaction) • University exploration: no university policy • Some colleges/departments have formal policies/procedures • COACHE survey

15. Mentoring • Data collected • Pre-tenure faculty • Reported no formal mentoring programs, but some were receiving informal mentoring • Majority willing to participate in holistic mentoring programs with preference for two-mentees to one-or-two mentors • Tenured faculty • Reported no formal mentoring, but informal occurred • Willing to serve as a mentor, but felt needed institutionalization

16. Mentoring – Recommendations • Low-hanging fruit • Associate Professors • Offer brown bag or open forum discussions on pathways to promotion to full professor • Create a space for peer-to-peer mentoring • Assistant Professors • Resource network • Create culture within college that encourages and supports tenured faculty to actively collaborate and involve pre-tenure faculty on grants • Arrange opportunities for across-department peer-to-peer mentoring

17. Mentoring – Recommendations • More resource intensive • 2 options • Mentoring committee – identify collection of faculty who will excel at mentoring junior faculty, provide training, and assign at least one to work with at least one new faculty (holistic mentoring) • Mentoring mentality – pre-tenure faculty – working with department head – select two tenured faculty from within the College to serve as their mentoring committee

26. External Funding Activity SPS Sponsored Program Data for COE We’ve had 50 grant proposals submitted so far this year. That’s a strong record of activity (but due in part to internal competitions). Unfortunately, actual awards for the year are only at $1.7m, which puts us well short of the $3m level we’ve hit for several consecutive years. Across campus, declines are up somewhat this year due to the budget situation in Washington.

27. Internal Competitions Non-Laboratory Research Infrastructure and Equipment Grants Faculty members in the College of Education submitted a number of successful proposals in this competition earlier this year. The announcement for next year’s competition will be forthcoming shortly. The deadline for submission will be early in the fall semester. If you have needs for specific research tools (e.g., specialized software or equipment), please submit a proposal. Incentive Grants We had one successful Category II proposal in this year’s competition. Congratulations to Helen Patrick and YouliMantzicopoulos! Category I proposals (multidisciplinary) have finally been categorized and will be undergoing review shortly. There are about 10 proposals related to education research in the pool. COE Interdisciplinary Seed Grants The call for COE Interdisciplinary Seed Grants has just come out. The deadline is May 17.

28. Funding-Related Announcements NSF Info NSF has transitioned from Fastlane to Research.gov. A CAREER workshop is scheduled for May 2. Sign up at OVPR website. Sequestration Sequestration info is available on the OVPR homepage. OVPR Bridge Program New program will provide short-term funding to researchers who have had consistent funding but experience a temporary shortfall. College and department cost-sharing is required. F&A Policy Purdue’s F&A return policy has been reviewed and changes are being proposed that include a modified formula for calculating distributions and a plan to return 25% of the allocation for each account to the investigator (if that amount is greater than $500).

29. ADDFD Initiatives Faculty Development Several grant-related workshops were offered this year, and the final one (on setting up a PIVOT profile) is today. It’s too late to get lunch, but feel free to drop in even if you didn’t sign up. We’ll continue these next year. Remember to see Jim Gardner for help with grant applications. Several faculty mentoring sessions were offered this year. Look for these to continue next year as well. Faculty Interest Groups A group focus on diversity and social justice has been meeting with a goal to develop some ideas for a college-level initiative. A group has also met with an interest in online learning and has suggested some initiatives for college-level support. New Collaborative Space (old Graduate Office) BRNG 6104 will be remodeled into a technology-enabled collaboration space over the summer. Plan to use it in the fall!

30. Graduate Education Survey of Graduate Student Life General satisfaction with university/college resources, except for office or personal work space. General satisfaction with most elements of campus/college climate, though students do experience many stresses. General satisfaction with many elements of graduate life, but there were some exceptions including: Parking Support for conference attendance Availability of and pay for assistantships Opportunities for teaching, research, and engagement Others (work-life balance, frequency of meetings with advisor, support for non-traditional students)
