Good morning! Please share this memo from Vice Chancellor for Research Victor McCrary with your departments. Thank you, Erin Erin K. Chapin Director of Research Communications The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Office of Research and Engagement 865-974-2187 Big Orange, Big Ideas From: "Victor R. McCrary" <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: "Chapin, Erin" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thursday, April 5, 2018 at 8:00 AM To: "Chapin, Erin" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Faculty Encouraged to Take Advantage of Surplus in Government Funding [he University of Tennessee Knoxville]<https://t.e2ma.net/click/jrx39/nmogbm/v0wull> Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research [ictor McCrary] The Fiscal Year 2018 Consolidated Appropriations Act<https://t.e2ma.net/click/jrx39/nmogbm/btxull> (omnibus spending bill) was signed into law on March 23. This bill allowed for significant increases in funding to several federal organizations, many of which we do not anticipate extending to the next fiscal year. These funds are only effective through September 30, 2018, at which time a new spending bill must be approved for FY19. Faculty are highly encouraged to apply for funding now, while these resources are still available. This is an opportunity for the university—as well as your department and college—to show a substantial increase in funding for FY18. Together, we can increase UT’s discovery enterprise, elevate our standing as a research university, and enhance our reputation with funding agencies. To accomplish this, the staff in the Office of Research and Engagement is here to assist you in preparing and submitting competitive proposals. We can help you identify program officers so you can resubmit proposals that were not awarded previously due to lack of funding. Funding is also available via white papers and workshop proposals. Expect to hear from ORE very soon regarding information sessions related to seeking additional funding from these organizations. We are here to assist you in your efforts. In the meantime, if you have questions please contact our office (865-974-3466, [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) and we will be glad to help. It is imperative that we move quickly before these funds are allocated to other projects. Let’s work over the next 4-8 weeks to claim our share as we go from excellence to preeminence! Victor R. McCrary Vice Chancellor for Research A complete copy of this memo is available for download here<https://t.e2ma.net/click/jrx39/nmogbm/rlyull>.
