Project Summary – 1 page

Following NSF instructions – Each proposal must have a summary of the proposed project not more than one page in length. The Project Summary should be:

• Written in the third person, informative to other persons working in the same or related fields, and, insofar as possible, understandable to a scientifically or technically literate lay reader. It should not be an abstract of the proposal.

The Project Summary consists of three sections:

(1) Overview

The first sentence must identify the AISL project type: Pilots and Feasibility Studies, Research in Service to Practice, Innovations in Development, Broad Implementation, or Conferences, Literature Reviews, Syntheses, or Meta-analyses, or Conferences. For Literature Reviews, Syntheses, or Meta-analyses, indicate which kind is being proposed.

The Overview includes a description of the activity that will result if the proposal is funded and a statement of objectives and methods to be employed.

(2) Intellectual Merit: a statement on the intellectual merit of the proposed activity

The statement on intellectual merit should describe the potential of the proposed activity to advance knowledge building.

(3) Broader Impacts: a statement on the broader impacts of the proposed activity.

The statement on broader impacts should describe the potential of the proposed activity to benefit society and contribute to the achievement of specific, desired societal outcomes.

The AISL priorities (e.g., strategic impact, knowledge building, innovation, collaboration, infrastructure and capacity building, and broadening participation) may be a part of either Intellectual Merit, Broader Impacts, or both.

Some of you may have noticed that there has been a change to the blog.  Don’t worry, I didn’t do this to confuse anyone.  I received notice that our current theme would no longer be supported due to apparent security concerns and that if I didn’t change it, the blog would be archived.  So, in order to keep your inboxes clear of at least some of the SPAM, we went ahead and made the required changes.  You’ll still get your weekly email, and any other notifications you’ve signed up for, it’ll just look a little different.  Sorry for the disruption in your normal.

OSU faculty, staff and students,

 

Oregon State University is committed to providing its faculty, staff and students with access to global opportunities and experiences that promote expanded research opportunities, student success, global understanding and engagement, and safe travel associated with university activities.

 

International travel and exchanges serve the university’s land grant mission to teach, pursue research, and engage in outreach and engagement to promote economic, social, cultural and environmental progress for the people of Oregon, the nation and the world.

 

To ensure that all OSU units follow consistent procedures associated with university-sponsored international travel, the university has enacted a new international travel policy that is now in effect and will provide travelers with many benefits. This policy requires faculty, staff, students and others traveling internationally on behalf of the university to enter their itineraries in OSU’s International Travel Registry prior to departure.

 

The registry benefits OSU’s international travelers in many ways, including:

o   Enrollment in international travel insurance, which includes medical care and evacuation or security assistance, if needed;

o   24/7 support from OSU’s international health and safety coordinator;

o   Optional pre-departure, travel location-specific orientations;

o   Secure storage of passport copies and emergency contact information; and

o   Ability for the university to provide incident assistance and support communication with family members and others in the event of unforeseen incidents.

 

If you have questions about this new process or registry, please contact Kendra Sharp, senior advisor to the provost for international affairs, or Samuel Gras, university international health and safety coordinator by e-mail or phone at 541-737-6433 or 541-737-6493, respectively.

 

We look forward to growing OSU’s global connections and impact with you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Kendra V. Sharp                                                             Susan Capalbo
