The Research Office is launching a series of campus conversations geared toward researchers. Our first two conversations are focused on providing answers about NIH and NOAA from a panel of experts. We are hoping to have attendees in person to facilitate better conversations. If you are unable to join in person, the Zoom link to both meetings can be found here: https://oregonstate.zoom.us/j/93815559600?pwd=cVkxOE5rVFl4Z0tZek9BYmU1Vko1UT09 

Session 1: Demystifying the National Institutes of Health

Tuesday, May 10, 2022, 12:00-1:30 pm

Linus Pauling Science Center room 402 and Zoom

Organizers: Matt Johnston (matthew.johnston@oregonstate.edu) and Emily Ho (Emily.Ho@oregonstate.edu) 

Attendees are welcome to bring a lunch. Beverages and cookies provided.

Should you be applying for NIH funding? It might be easier than you think.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) fund research and development that might help improve human health – not just in biology and medicine, but also in computation, robotics & AI, education, engineering, physical sciences, and other areas.

The May 10^th Research Office Campus Conversation (ROCC) is intended to demystify NIH for OSU researchers. We will learn from members of the OSU faculty about their experiences finding, applying for, and managing NIH-funded research – and how it complements their work with other agencies, such as NSF. Join us to learn about giving NIH funding a try for your own work, and meeting others you might partner with along the way.

Session 2: Demystifying the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Friday, June 3, 2022, 12:00-1:30 pm

Linus Pauling Science Center room 402 and Zoom

Organizers: Francis Chan (Francis.Chan@oregonstate.edu) and Anthony Koppers (anthony.koppers@oregonstate.edu) 

Attendees are welcome to bring a lunch. Beverages and cookies provided.

Have you wondered what NOAA research priorities are? Have you wondered what funding opportunities are available from NOAA? Have you wondered how best to translate your research interests into competitive NOAA proposals?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) funds research in many areas of strength at OSU in ocean and climate sciences, often requiring transdisciplinary collaborations to discover holistic solutions, involving the humanities, social sciences, physical sciences, and engineering. 

The June 3^rd Research Office Campus Conversation (ROCC) is intended to demystify NOAA for OSU researchers. We will hear from members of the OSU faculty who have deep experience with NOAA research, and a NOAA program officer to gain insights into the NOAA research landscape and funding pathways. We will also discuss ways to develop and strengthen your proposals to NOAA.

Sincerely,

Irem Y. Tumer, Ph.D., ASME Fellow
Vice President for Research

This Friday, a group of writing center consultants will describe assignment features that writers often finding confusing, as well as assignment features that help students understand their writing tasks, and that support their work as writers. After the panelists share their perspectives, there will be time for attendees to ask consultants questions about these observations or other aspects of their work.

When: Friday, May 6^th, from 3:00-4:20

Where: Via zoom

Although the panel will focus on assignments from undergraduate classes, the advice will apply to graduate classes as well.
