Faculty Development Awards support travel expenses to present research, scholarly or creative activity and discovery, or RSCAD, or a performance at an international meeting or to visit an external funder or sponsor. University Small Research Grants, or USRG, are seed grants to support small research projects, scholarly activity, and other creative efforts.
Both programs are meant to catalyze a faculty member's RSCAD career success. New faculty and faculty from disciplines with minimal outside support are given priority for both awards, as are trips or projects that enhance awardees' abilities to compete for extramural funding. All proposals are peer reviewed and discussed in a panel. Unsuccessful applicants will be given feedback on how to improve their proposals.
Fall 2019 Faculty Development Award reviewers were Joel Anderson, Office of Research Development; Jennifer Francois, family studies and human services; Jessica Lane, special education, counseling, and student affairs; Edward Nowlin, marketing; Deann Presley, agronomy; Ali Stoyan, political science; Kimberly With, biology.
University Small Research Grant reviewers were Ruth Gurgel, music, theatre, and dance; Carla Martinez-Machain, political science; Mary Lou Marino, Office of Research Development; Chad Miller, horticulture; Kate Nelson, geography; Aleksey Sheshukov, biological and agricultural engineering; Martin Talavera, food, nutrition, dietetics, and health.
The contributions of our peer reviewers are greatly appreciated.

Notice of NIH's Interest in Diversity
|
|
NIH’s mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and to apply that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. To achieve this mission, NIH substantially invests in research to improve public health; it also devotes substantial resources to identify, develop, support and maintain the quality of its scientific resources, including human capital.
This diversity statement was informed by a literature review, the reports and deliberations of several internal NIH committees, as well as input from Institute and Center officials, program staff and external stakeholders.

Synthetic biologists have performed a biochemical switcheroo. They’ve re-engineered a bacterium that normally eats a diet of simple sugars into one that builds its cells by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2), much like plants. The work could lead to engineered microbes that suck CO2 out of the air and turn it into medicines and other high-value compounds.
