Mentoring – Recommendations

• More resource intensive– 2 options

• Mentoring committee – identify collection of faculty who will excel at mentoring junior faculty, provide training, and assign at least one to work with at least one new faculty (holistic mentoring)

• Mentoring mentality – pre-tenure faculty – working with department head – select two tenured faculty from within the College to serve as their mentoring committee

Funding-Related Announcements• NSF Info

• NSF has transitioned from Fastlane to Research.gov.

• A CAREER workshop is scheduled for May 2. Sign up at OVPR website.

• Sequestration

• Sequestration info is available on the OVPR homepage.

• OVPR Bridge Program

• New program will provide short-term funding to researchers who have had consistent funding but experience a temporary shortfall. College and department cost-sharing is required.

• F&A Policy

• Purdue’s F&A return policy has been reviewed and changes are being proposed that include a modified formula for calculating distributions and a plan to return 25% of the allocation for each account to the investigator (if that amount is greater than $500).
