The
RESEARCH ENTERPRISE is the new mode of communication
from the IUPUI Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
(R&SP). The ENTERPRISE is published monthly,
distributed by e-mail, and contains time sensitive
research information as well as links to information
on grants and contracts, funding opportunities, research
compliance, and research centers. This information
is in the process of being reorganized and will be
updated monthly. The Office of Research and Sponsored
Programs appreciates your feedback on this publication.

EVENTS
The annual GRANT WRITING WORKSHOP
will be held on November 13, 2006 on the IUPUI campus.
This event has received rave reviews such as:
“One
of the best uses of my time at any seminar ever”
“Excellent in every respect”
“I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone
interested in writing grants”
“I only wish I had this information years ago”
This workshop has previously been
sponsored exclusively by the IU School of Medicine.
This year, for the first time, the workshop is co-sponsored
by the IUPUI Research and Sponsored Programs Office
in order to encourage investigators from all over
the IUPUI campus to take advantage of this outstanding
opportunity. This workshop is appropriate for all
faculty who are contemplating a competitive application
to federal or state agencies and foundations in either
basic science or clinical research. The workshop emphasizes
idea development, how to write for grant reviewers
and tips and strategies for great grantsmanship.
Registration
will open in late August. Watch for notices and additional
information in the July issue of the RESEARCH ENTERPRISE.

evaluative comparisons of different intervention strategies,
as well as the use of methods to detect synergistic
interactions between different types of interventions.
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-06-415.html
This funding opportunity will utilize the R01 mechanism,
but will be run in parallel with a program announcement
of identical scientific scope that will utilize the
exploratory/developmental Grant (R21) http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-06-417.html

BIOLOGICAL
DATABASES AND INFORMATICS
The
Biological Databases and Informatics (BD&I) Program
of the National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks to
encourage new approaches to the management, analysis,
and dissemination of biological knowledge for the
benefit of both the scientific community and the broader
public. The BD&I program is especially interested
in the development of informatics tools and resources
that have the potential to advance all fields of biology
under the purview of the Directorate for Biological
Sciences at the National Science Foundation. Due:

INSTRUMENT
DEVELOPMENT
The
NSF Instrument Development for Biological Research
(IDBR) Program supports the development of novel or
of substantially improved instrumentation likely to
have a significant impact on the study of biological
systems at any level. The development of new or substantial
improvement of existing, software for the operation
of instruments, analysis of data, or the analysis
of images is also supported where these have the effect
of improving instrument performance. Proposals aimed
at concept or proof-of-concept development for entirely
novel instrumentation are encouraged. Due: August
25, 2006.
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2006/nsf06570/nsf06570.htm
CENTERS
TO MEASURE THE SOCIETAL IMPACT OF RESEARCH
Spurred
by Congress’s interest in determining the impact
of investments in research, NSF proposes to fund a
collection of six interdisciplinary research centers
as well as individual grants which focus either on
a particular discipline or an important technology.
