Welcome to our new Research Weekly newsletter.
As you can see, we've refreshed our format and delivery method. Our newsletter now includes the Funding Connection and will be delivered directly to your email each Wednesday. If you miss it in your in-box, you can also find it in K-State Today on Thursdays.
Our aim is to provide a range of resources to those engaged in research, scholarly, and creative activity and discovery at K-State. In addition to funding opportunities, look for information about upcoming events, featured tools or services for researchers, and other stories that share successes or help K-State reach its institutional goals. Thanks to Kim Kirkpatrick for sharing some tips with us this week about managing large proposals. We love to see our researchers succeed, and we appreciate the years of planning and effort that went into the center Kim and her team are establishing.

New ARPA-E Program
ARPA-E's Innovative Natural-gas Technologies for Efficiency Gain in Reliable and Affordable Thermochemical Electricity-generation, or
INTEGRATE program, will develop advanced natural gas fueled, distributed electric generation systems with conversion efficiencies of more than 70%—double the current average delivered efficiency of utility-scale, fossil-fueled plants.
Science is in the throes of
a reproducibility crisis, and researchers, funders and publishers are increasingly worried that the scholarly literature is littered with unreliable results. Now, a group of 72 prominent researchers is targeting what they say is one cause of the problem: weak statistical standards of evidence for claiming new discoveries.
Now that the NIH fiscal year 2017 budget is signed into law, NIH published its final fiscal policy and salary cap guidance for this year.
Peede joined NEH in April and was the Senior Deputy Chairman of the agency. Previously, he had been appointed to senior leadership roles at the National Endowment for the Arts. From 2003 to 2007, he served as Counselor to NEA Chairman Dana Gioia. From 2007 to 2011, he oversaw the NEA’s funding of literary organizations and fellowships to creative writers and translators. For seven years, he led writing workshops for U.S. troops in Afghanistan, Bahrain, England, Italy, Kyrgyzstan, the Persian Gulf, and on domestic bases.
The world's most potent technologists are stranded in today's innovation ecosystem.
Funders, institutions and this publication have encouraged more scientists to get stuck into translational research. Studies that link laboratory work to clinical progress are essential if society is to benefit. Now scientists must step up again: this time, to help regulators assess and license the therapies that such projects produce.
