Funding Flash DEC 2018

FINDING FUNDING LATEST FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FROM THE OFFICE OF RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION

Help to End Addiction Long-Term Initiative: The NIH launched the HEAL Initiative in 2018, an aggressive, trans-agency effort to speed scientific solutions to stem the national opioid public health crisis. This Initiative builds on extensive, well-established NIH research to integrate behavioral interventions with Medication-Assisted Treatment for opioid use disorder. There are multiple funding opportunities and due dates for potential projects.
NSF Includes Initiative: NSF INCLUDES (Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science) is a comprehensive national initiative designed to enhance U.S. leadership in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) discoveries and innovations by focusing on broadening participation in these fields at scale. Project proposals are due by April 2, 2019.
National Geographic Society: The National Geographic Society funds multiple projects, including its Early Career Grants and Exploration Grants. The society funds projects that are "bold, innovative and potentially transformative and have a primary focus in conservation, education, research, storytelling or technology." Learn more about submitting your project proposals to the NGS.

Harassment Notification Policy: Both the NSF and NIH are requiring awardees to provide notification when any primary investigator or co-primary investigator is found to have violated a harassment code or placed on leave pending an investigation. The conduct involved need not have been directly related to grant activities. ECU will handle all required notifications institutionally – there is no change to the ECU procedures for reporting harassment.

The Office of Faculty Excellence will host research sessions throughout the semester. Sign up for workshops through the OFE Calendar.

Course Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (2/21, 3/21, 4/18)
SAS Introduction (2/21): This introduction workshop will teach SAS from the very beginning. From this session, you will learn SAS interface, how to import different types of data to SAS, how to create SAS libraries, how to code, recode, and compute variables, how to format variables, and how to run frequency procedure.
Getting Started with Research (2/27): This session will provide a guideline on how to start a research project for graduate students or anybody who is interested in doing a research. We want to help graduate students plan a thesis or a dissertation research from the very beginning.
NSF Career Workshops (3/1, 4/5, 4/26)
