Barnard College Office of Institutional Funding

Hello, faculty,

Congratulations on making it to the end of the semester! We’ve been impressed with how much grace and good humor everyone has brought to this situation. Before jumping into our offerings, I want to pause and thank one of the hidden forces that keeps our office running—our work study student, Janis McAllister. Janis is graduating this year with a BA in English. She has worked for us for the last three years and has been completely invaluable. She has taken care of a thousand tiny tasks that people rarely see but keep our team afloat, from updating deadlines in newsletter, to fixing the links in the faculty handbook, to doing preliminary research into faculty funding prospects. From all of us on the IFSR team: Thank you, Janis. We will miss you and wish you all the best.

Since the abnormal is now the new normal, this month’s newsletter is turning our attention back to some non-Covid opportunities and topics. For our Featured Funder, we are profiling the Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Studies and its founder, Polly Bunting-Smith, who once (delightfully) referred to the loss of women in the workforce as “a prodigious national extravagance.” For our Sage Advice column, we are rerunning an old classic, “How the Barnard Sponsored Research Office Can Help.” We’ve been meeting with a lot of new faculty recently, so it seemed like a good time to revisit the topic and remind you that we are also tracking COVID-19 opportunities.

We have a few news stories, including one about a professor at Georgia Tech who flubbed her NSF paperwork and wound up with two felonies.

After that, be sure to check out upcoming grant opportunities. For the scientists, we want to highlight the Beckman Young Investigators Award, which is available to early-career faculty in the chemical and life sciences. Historically, we have not been eligible to apply to the Beckman Young Investigators Fellowship, but they recently changed eligibility criteria, making it an open call. It is due August 3, 2020.

As always, if you need assistance finding grants or beginning an application, please feel free to email any of the members of the Institutional Funding and Sponsored Research team.

Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard

The real problem facing women, Mary Ingraham Bunting-Smith complained in a 1961 article in Time, was the persistent “climate of unexpectation” that surrounded them. “Adults ask little boys what they want to do when they grow up. They ask little girls where they got that pretty dress. We don't care what women do with their education. Why, we don't even care if they learn to be good mothers.” At the time of the interview, Bunting was only one year into what would become a twelve year tenure as President of Radcliffe College, and had just established the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study to halt the exodus of highly talented, educated women from the workforce—a loss that she acerbically described as a “prodigious national extravagance.”

Bunting, who went by Polly, was born in 1910 in Brooklyn, NY. Her father worked as a lawyer, while her mother served as the head of the YWCA and helped found the United Service Organization, (USO). Bunting attended Vassar College and graduated in 1931, before positively whizzing through her graduate education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which awarded her a master’s degree in agricultural bacteriology in 1932 and a PhD in 1934. In 1937 she married Henry Bunting, who went on to teach pathology at Yale University School of Medicine. Bunting researched and taught part-time while raising their four children until, in 1954, her husband died unexpectedly of a brain tumor.

Yale, where Bunting was working at the time, refused to entertain the idea of hiring a woman full time, so Bunting, now a widow with four children, took a job first as Dean of Douglass College at Rutgers, then, in 1960, as President of Radcliffe. While at Radcliffe, Bunting transformed the relationship between Radcliffe and Harvard. During her tenure, Radcliffe students began receiving joint degrees with Harvard and the Radcliffe Graduate School merged with Harvard’s.

The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study was renamed the Mary Ingraham Bunting Institute in 1978, and then returned to its original name and expanded in 1999 when Radcliffe and Harvard formally merged. Today the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies at Harvard is open to men and women alike. In addition to serving as a research center for Harvard faculty and graduate students, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies offers a variety of opportunities for visiting faculty.

The first is the Radcliffe Fellowship Program. “The Radcliffe Fellowship Program awards 50 fellowships each academic year. Applicants may apply as individuals or in a group of two to three people working on the same project. We seek diversity along many dimensions, including discipline, career stage, race and ethnicity, country of origin, gender and sexual orientation, and ideological perspective.” Funding: $77,500, with an extra $5,000 for research. Deadline: TBA; Previously September 2019.

The Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America offers other opportunities. Currently, the library a Mellon-Schlesinger Summer Research Grant. “The grant will fund up to three eight-week residencies each June–July in 2019, 2020, and 2021 for researchers doing advanced work on gender and suffrage, voting rights, citizenship, or other related topics.” Funding: $15k. Deadline: TBA.

In addition to the Mellon grant, the Schlesinger Library also offers a dedicated Oral History Grant. “The Schlesinger Library invites scholars who are conducting oral history interviews relevant to the history of women or gender in the United States to apply for support of up to $3K.” Deadline: TBA.

Finally, $3,000 Research Support Grants are available to “scholars and other serious researchers at any career stage beyond graduate school…who have demonstrated research productivity and whose projects require use of materials available only at the Schlesinger Library.” Deadline: TBA

How the Barnard Sponsored Research Office Can Help First published May 14, 2018 by Kari Steeves. Updated May 25, 2020.

Maybe “Useful Information” would be a better title for this installment aimed to give you a sampling of what we in Barnard Sponsored Research can do for you, our esteemed faculty. We are here to help you accomplish your research and project goals, both inside and outside the classroom and lab. You can use us to lesser or greater degrees in any of the following ways.

Do You Need Funding? We regularly meet with faculty, as needed, to gain an understanding of research needs and goals.

It’s not necessary to wait until you have a fully formed proposal. We can begin with a brainstorm-ing session.

Provide research on possible funding sources that might suit your project and stage of develop-ment. Many funders offer planning grants to enable scholars to build an idea, run a trial, or pre-pare the groundwork of a potentially more ambitious project.

As you narrow down the list of opportunities to which you’d like to apply, we can also provide more detailed profiles of specific funders or requests for proposal (RFP).

Nearly every article we’ve profiled on this advice page has emphasized the wisdom of having multi-ple readers preview your draft proposal. We’re happy to serve as one of those readers.

We can work closely with you throughout the application process to help you think through budg-ets, timelines, and ways to present your work that might align with the funder’s or RFP’s aims.

Government agencies and certain other funders sometimes have complex applications. We can help you navigate them.

We can handle the online submission requirements, such as converting to pdf, after a careful re-view, and uploading.

After We Click Submit Some organizations and agencies engage in a “just in time” process or conversation before formally

granting an award. We are available to assist you through that process.

If the News is Good Sponsored Research can answer questions about administrative compliance, accounting, and re-

ports to assist faculty in meeting grant requirements in a timely way. If we don’t have answers to your post-award questions, we can work with the relevant department

to find the answers. We work with colleagues in Finance and the Provost’s Office should post-award problems arise.

At Any Time

Do you have a professional-development related topic you’d like to explore in a workshop? We would be happy to make that happen. Some workshops we have hosted in the past include Grants 101, Fi-nancial Management, and an overview of the federal funding landscape. We are also open to assisting in any other way we can. Just shoot us an email or give us a call. Mark Godwin, Director, Sponsored Research: mgodwin@barnard.edu 212-870-2525. Pamela Tuffley, Associate Director, Sponsored Research: ptuffley@barnard.edu 212-870-2526 Liane Carlson , Institutional Funding Research Officer: lcarlson@barnard.edu 212-870-2524.

We invite you to reach out to us at any point in your funding process. As the advice columns always say, the earlier the better. We love to hear from you!

From the NSF

10 years later: What did scientists learn from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill? By NSF Staff, Posted on April 10, 2020

“In a paper published in the journal Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, WHOI marine geochemists Elizabeth Kujawinski and Christopher Reddy review what they -- and their science colleagues around the world -- have learned from studying the spill over the past decade.

“‘So many lessons were learned during the Deepwater Horizon disaster that it seemed appropriate and timely to consider those lessons in a review,’ says Kujawinski. ‘We found that much good work had been done on oil weathering and oil degradation by microbes, with significant implications for future research and response activities.’

“Adds Reddy, "One of the big takeaways is that the oil doesn't just float and hang around. A huge amount of oil that didn't evaporate was pummeled by sunlight, changing its chemistry. That's something that wasn't seen before, so now we have insight into this process." <<more>>

From the NIH Working on an NIH Grant Application? Make Sure You Are Using the Right Forms! Posted by NIH Staff on May 12, 2020.

“NIH is transitioning to an updated set of application forms we refer to as FORMS-F. Use FORMS-F forms for grant application due dates on or after May 25, 2020 and FORMS-E for due dates on or before May 24, 2020.

For tips on navigating this transition, see our previous Nexus post, guide notices (NOT-OD-20-026, NOT-OD-20-077), and the resources listed below.” <<more>>

Extramural Investments in Research: FY 2019 By the Numbers Posted by Mike Lauer on May 5, 2020.

“NIH’s total budget in FY 2019 was $39.2 billion (see page 76 of the FY 2021 Congressional Justification overview for more). Of that appropriation, $29.466 billion was awarded to 55,012 new and renewed meritorious extramural grants (excludes research and development contracts). This investment was up $2.354 billion from FY 2018 (8.68% increase), with 2,369 more grants funded (4.50% increase). 2,738 organizations received these awards—ranging from academic universities, hospitals, small businesses, and others—throughout the U.S. and internationally. “ <<more>>

Georgia Tech researcher pays a high price for mismanaging an NSF grant From AAAS Science Magazine by Jeffrey Mervis. Posted April 29, 2020.

“In December 2019, Lee pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges of providing false information to the National Science Foundation (NSF) on a project it has been funding for more than 10 years. She assumed taking that step would allow her to get on with her life. ‘I’m good with math, and I like spending time with my students,’ she says. ‘I thought the plea would let me go back to work.’

“But it’s not that simple. On 21 May, a judge is scheduled to impose her sentence. And being convicted of a felony is likely to trigger a review by Georgia Tech officials that could end in the university revoking her tenure and dismissing her. The circumstances that have led Lee to simultaneously be both a felon and a high-profile coronavirus warrior may well be unique. (NSF officials say they don’t keep statistics about the prevalence of fraud in the program that funded Lee.) Even so, her case is a sobering reminder to the community that, although institutions are

“Hundreds of clinical trials have paused new enrollment during the pandemic (Science, 20 March, p. 1289). But like Cohen, investigators across diverse fields have managed to keep treating enrolled patients who might benefit from experimental therapies. Now, research teams are contemplating how the pandemic might insert itself into their results. Could effects of the outbreak—including less consistent follow-up visits, reduced movement, or poorer mental or physical health—blur the statistical signals of a treatment's risks and benefits?” <<more>>

NIH’s axing of bat coronavirus grant a ‘horrible precedent’ and might break rules, critics say From AAAS Science Magazine by Kelly Servick. Posted on May 15, 2020

“The research community is reacting with alarm and anger to the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH’s) abrupt and unusual termination of a grant supporting research in China on how coronaviruses—such as the one causing the current pandemic—move from bats to humans.

“The agency axed the grant last week, after conservative U.S. politicians and media repeatedly suggested—without evidence—that the pandemic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, that employs a Chinese virologist who had been receiving funding from the grant. The termination, which some analysts believe might violate regulations governing NIH, also came 7 days after President Donald Trump, asked about the project at a press conference, said: “We will end that grant very quickly.” <<more>>

The Untold Story of the Birth of Social Distancing From The New York Times, by Eric Lipton and Jennifer Steinhauer. Published on April 22, 2020.

“WASHINGTON — Fourteen years ago, two federal government doctors, Richard Hatchett and Carter Mecher, met with a colleague at a burger joint in suburban Washington for a final review of a proposal they knew would be treated like a piñata: telling Americans to stay home from work and school the next time the country was hit by a deadly pandemic.

“When they presented their plan not long after, it was met with skepticism and a degree of ridicule by senior officials, who like others in the United States had grown accustomed to relying on the pharmaceutical industry, with its ever-growing array of new treatments, to confront evolving health challenges.

“Drs. Hatchett and Mecher were proposing instead that Americans in some places might have to turn back to an approach, self-isolation, first widely employed in the Middle Ages.

“How that idea — born out of a request by President George W. Bush to ensure the nation was better prepared for the next contagious disease outbreak — became the heart of the national playbook for responding to a pandemic is one of the untold stories of the coronavirus crisis.” <<more>>
