STIMULUS PACKAGE
UPDATE!!!
[ Detailed
Funding Information
for the ARRA ]
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
is now in effect and we are starting to see several RFPs being issued.
This is an extraordinary opportunity for SU and the URS office has been
busy preparing for ARRA implementation. We are pleased to report that SU
has already submitted three grants for ARRA funds, but there are surely
to be countless more opportunities.
The stimulus package places a significant emphasis on education,
science and research - that's a great match for SU!
We are monitoring announcements on a daily
basis, but we encourage faculty and staff to be proactive in the search
for recovery funds. We would like all interested faculty and staff to
send a list of your interests to
balwalsh@salisbury.edu. We are also looking over previous
submissions that were not awarded for possible re-submission. We are
also offering SMARTS/Genius Workshops. This is a database that scans
funding opportunities daily, based on keywords, and notifies
participants. This has proven to be an invaluable tool and does the work
for you!
This is an unprecedented opportunity and
there is a lot of conflicting information available. The following
websites are the most reliable sites for accurate and updated
information:
www.recovery.gov
www.grants.gov
www.gov.State.md.us/grants
www.statestat.maryland.gov/
recovery.asp
Agency websites are also a
great place for updates.

About
University Research Services (URS)
Our objective is to strengthen faculty
development
opportunities; to encourage faculty pursuit of scholarly
activity; and to attract and increase external funding
for institution-wide reform.
.jpg) The URS Office serves as the central administrative
office responsible for submitting proposals to state,
federal, corporate and foundation sponsors and it
implements awards resulting from these proposals. As a
service provider, we are devoted to communication
between principal investigators, funders, and the
coordination of campus resources. Considerable time is
spent locating sources of support, communicating that
information to appropriate personnel, preparing
proposals for submission, award setup, grant management,
reporting, project closeout, record retention, audit and
compliance for federal/state/local regulations as well
as USM/University policy. By maintaining a standard of
excellence, we hope to create a campus climate that
amplifies everyone’s understanding of available funding
and how we can compete in the most effective manner. We
facilitate faculty efforts to produce competitive grant
and contract applications; this correlates with the
University’s increased emphasis on teaching, student
learning and undergraduate research.
The URS maintains a full, Grants for Faculty,
resource library. This library includes all standard
print reference guides on private foundations, federal
bulletins, and public policy directives. In addition,
faculty have available to them several databases - SPIN,
GENIUS, SMARTS - which provide electronic access to
funding opportunities.
Our staff will assist you throughout the grant and
contract process, this includes: proposal development,
completion of forms, budget design, securing
administrative approvals, application submission, budget
modifications, programmatic changes, and grants
management with timely compliance in reporting and
closeout.
Our website provides information on the Committee for
Human Research, Intellectual Property issues, forms and
resources for your convenience.
