FEATURED FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
| |
The foundation seeks studies that aim to build, test, or increase understanding of programs, policies, or practices to reduce inequality in the academic, social, behavioral, or economic outcomes of young people. We prioritize studies about reducing inequality on the basis of race, ethnicity, economic standing, language minority status, or immigrant origins. Letters of Inquiry: May 5, 2021
The foundation will accept LOIs relevant to any of its core programs that address at least one of the following issues: 1) research on the COVId-19 pandemic and the resulting recession in the U.S.; 2) research focused on systemic racial inequality and/or the recent mass protests in the United States. Letters of Inquiry: May 4, 2021

Dr. Anne Austin, assistant professor of anthropology and archaeology UMSL Researcher Sees Ancient Workers' Village Informing Today's Health Care Systems
Anne Austin, PhD, is a bioarchaeologist and Egyptologist whose research primarily takes place at Deir el-Medina, an ancient workers' village (now an archaeological site) that was home to the artisans and craftsmen who built and decorated the royal tombs in the nearby Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens. This village, which thrived for hundreds of years and hosted a literate, multi-generational population, contains a plethora of artifacts.
Since 2012, Austin has served as lead bioarchaeologist at this site. Bioarchaeology is a unique discipline focused on the study of human skeletal remains emphasizing approaches from biological anthropology and archaeology and derives theoretical guidance from both cultural anthropology and evolutionary biology. At Deir el-Medina, she focuses on health care (what ancient systems were in place, how they are reflected in remains, and what ancient texts discuss about these health systems) and ancient tattooing (read more about this in two UMSL Daily stories here and here).
Encouraged by her parents from a young age, Austin developed a passion for archaeology and the fascinating questions that can be answered through research in this field, particularly through multidisciplinary research. She noted that as research is done (in any field), new questions and opportunities for collaborative work across disciplines are uncovered. For Austin and others in this field, the time is right for multidisciplinary collaborations.
Austin's overarching goal as a scholar is to bridge the fields of bioarchaeology and Egyptology by finding opportunities where they can inform each other. She believes that her work at Deir el-Medina, one of the oldest documented health care networks in the world, could inform how we view and discuss modern health care systems today.
Find out more about Austin on her website.
Join us each month to recognize, celebrate, and learn more about UMSL research faculty as we feature a faculty member from a different college or unit.

Peer Review Opportunities
Serving as a peer reviewer at federal agencies is an excellent way to stay current with the research in your field and to get an inside view of agency funding priorities. In addition, reviewing grant applications is one of the best ways to improve the competitiveness of your proposals. It is also an excellent way to connect with colleagues, provide service to your discipline, and increase visibility. See the links below to learn how you can become a reviewer.

A New Framework for Articulating Broader Impacts is Now Available from the NSF’s Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate
The National Science Foundation's existing criteria for evaluating research proposals through both intellectual merit and broader impacts remain unchanged. The new framework offers guidance on how researchers can better articulate the potential impacts of their proposed research and how those impacts can lead to benefits for society, including improved quality of life. The framework includes questions for researchers to consider when developing the broader impacts of their research and suggestions on how to explain them.
NIH Data Sharing Policy
Data sharing is essential for expedited translation of research results into knowledge, products, and procedures to improve human health. Find guidance and resources to understand NIH policy below.
The National Institutes of Health has issued a new Final NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing (effective Jan. 25, 2023), which will require NIH-funded researchers to prospectively submit a plan outlining how scientific data from their research will be managed and shared. On January 25, 2023, the new policy will come into effect and replace the 2003 NIH Data Sharing Policy currently in effect.

The Office of IP Management & Commercialization, also known as "Technology Transfer" or the "TTO," assists faculty in protecting and bringing their research discoveries and inventions, whether patentable or copyrightable, to market.
So, why do universities engage in Technology Transfer? Watch this quick video by the Association of University Technology Managers:
| |
Your tech transfer staff work to analyze the technology regarding intellectual property protection and the market need to determine whether patent applications should be filed and/or copyrights should be registered. For those inventions that can be protected (and even some that cannot), we then look for potential industry partners, which could include established companies and/or startup ventures, to license and commercialize the discovery.
We also process all Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs), Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), and research-related fee-for-service agreements, among others, for UMSL.
Please visit our website for more information or to disclose an invention. Feel free to visit us at 346 Woods Hall. Email: wilgerst@umsl.edu
