Federal Budget: Overview and Opportunities; May 31, 3:30
On May 31, in the Orbach Science Library, Room 240, at 3:30 there will be a presentation and discussion on the federal budget. Representative from Lewis Burke associates will present info on the proposed budget as it impacts universities. I forgot the analysis in the last newsletter and waited until I got a good bird photo to resend.
What are indirect costs anyway?
There is much discussion in DC about the budget including F&A (or indirect costs) on grants. If you have 20 minutes, this video by Sally Rockey (when she was at NIH) presents a clear overview.

Reminder: NSF CAREER Proposals
If you are applying for an NSF CAREER award and if you finish a complete draft by June 26, mail to vcredadmin@ucr.edu, and we'll hold a panel and review it on July 6 and get you feedback by July 7. Also RED will send you $1000 in a research fund as incentive for finishing early.
If you have reviewed for the NSF program and would like to be on the July 6 CAREER panel, send mail to vcredadmin@ucr.edu, Panelists will review 5-8 CAREER proposals, get a free lunch, and $1000 in a research fund.

UCR should create a website with proposal boilerplate
Actually, we have had one for a few years. It’s at https://research.ucr.edu/ord/proposaldevlopment.aspx
