- W143755938 abstract "INTRODUCTION Successful proposals are the lifeblood of any self-funded research organization. The Desert Research Institute (DRI), a self-funded research organization associated with the University and Community College System of Nevada, receives only 10% of its funding from the state. The remainder of the DRI's support is obtained from grants and contracts. The DRI has five research centers. The focus of the Energy and Environmental Engineering Center (EEEC) is current and future human impacts on the environment, especially air quality, and the technology that can be applied to mitigate these impacts. Each year, the EEEC prepares approximately 100 proposals. These proposals generate more than $5 million in grants and contracts from federal, state, and local governments; private firms; and international organizations. For a center with only 25 principal investigators (PIs), this is a relatively large number of proposals. Given the importance of funds generated from these proposals, the EEEC's proposal efforts must be efficient and effective. Research administrators and PIs associated with the EEEC have learned that mutual cooperation often is the key to funding success. The following eight tasks define the research administrator's role in the proposal development process. TASK ONE: LEARN ABOUT THE PI's RESEARCH To help a PI develop a successful proposal, the research administrator must understand the PI's research. This is especially important for PIs involved in highly technical research. Research administrators can learn about the research being conducted by PIs by: (a) reading the PI's research publications, (b) attending the PI's presentations and workshops, and (c) interviewing the PIs about their specific research interests. At the EEEC, research administrators work with PIs to prepare a written description of the organization's major research activities. This description enables EEEC research administrators to identify potential sponsors, prepare cost proposals, recommend pricing decisions, and defend or explain the PI's needs to others. It also is useful for forecasting future funding opportunities and equipment and personnel requirements. By taking this additional step, research administrators at the EEEC enhance their credibility with the PIs and clarify the research administrator's role within the center. TASK TWO: NOTIFY PIS OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES Increasingly, government agencies are relying on the Internet to inform bidders of requests for proposals (RFPs). Consequently, the task of searching the World Wide Web for funding opportunities has become an important part of the research administrator's role at the EEEC. The EEEC currently uses e-mail to notify PIs that an RFP has been received. The EEEC plans to expand this service. By using Sponsored Project Information Network (SPIN) and reviewing specific Web sites, the EEEC can send out a weekly announcement of all new RFPs. PIs with matching research interests can be sent a complete copy of the RFP. In addition, research administrators at the EEEC are developing a directory of sponsors. The directory will contain the following information for each sponsor: (a) the type of research funded, (b) addresses used to announce funding, (c) the names of personnel who make funding decisions, and (d) the PIs who have been funded by these sponsors in the past. TASK THREE: HELP PIS DEVELOP POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH SPONSORS Research administrators should make an effort to encourage positive relationships between PIs and sponsors for several reasons. One of the main goals of the awarding organization is to minimize the risk of failure when awarding research funds. From the perspective of the awarding agency, failure occurs when: 1. Research outcomes are late and of little use. 2. The research is of such poor quality that it is useless or of limited value. …" @default.
