VP Note: State supports research; research aids the state
By now you’ve heard about the excellent success our faculty had this year in the 21st Century Job Funds competition. MSU faculty submitted 67 proposals. After extensive scientific review, the finalists made presentations to the Michigan Strategic Economic Investment and Commercialization Board. In the end, eleven proposals were funded. We appreciate the effort that went into writing so many high quality proposals. The Office of Intellectual Property, Contract and Grant Administration, and OVPRGS staff provided support, but the real heroes are the faculty who developed and presented the ideas; the deans, associate deans, and department chairs who offered support; and the staff who helped with administrative details. In addition to the eleven awards with MSU faculty as PIs, our faculty are partners in a number of other funded projects, and start-up companies that use technology developed at MSU also received funding. The Center for Structural Biology, MSU’s hub facility in the Core Technology Alliance, also received substantial funding (see article). Several proposals received high marks but weren’t funded. We encourage those investigators to submit the proposals to other agencies. The large number of proposals funded in this award cycle shows just how good MSU’s researchers are at what they do. Our faculty are engaged in research that addresses the needs of our communities, as the results of this competition confirm. Thank you all for your good work. J. Ian Gray |
