Brief and very incomplete class notes on evaluating grant funding sources, from David Wiley’s IPT 682 course.
we move too easily from liberty to servitude
what strings are attached?!? what consequences of accepting funding/partnership?
hiring requirements, time reporting requirements, etc.
There are different levels of partner
Difference between federal and private funding
Looked at nsf.gov, examined some of the “Education” programs and funded projects.
Facilties and Administration (F&A) and Overhead
“If you get a $100k grant from NSF, about 45% comes off the top and goes to the institution.”
The university will say the federal rate is the default rate.
Hewlett will require only about 10% for F&A
It’s always in the institution’s interest, student hires, advance research.
Question re. copyright
Part of it is institutionally controlled (e.g. significant use of inst. resources)
Can negotiate with sponsor, e.g. to open license products
Technology Commercialization Office?
At BYU:
Write the proposal
Send it to office of research and creative arts (or at UVU grants administrator? who is this?)
ORCA submits it
See <a href="http://opencontent.org/wiki/index.php?title=Grant_Writing_and_Project_Management_2009"class wiki for IP&T-related funding agencies (add some, please). Also grants.gov
