Faculty asked to participate in survey
(03-30-05)
There is an initiative under way by members of the Faculty Senate Committee on Research and Public Service. In collaboration with the Office of Research and Public Service, the committee is interested in identifying ways that would improve the capabilities of faculty and nontenure faculty researchers to prepare applications for sponsored and unsponsored research awards and to manage them.

As a first step in this effort, we will be inviting a small number of faculty and non-faculty researchers to two focus groups. These focus groups will provide insights that will help the committee design a questionnaire that will be sent to all UNH faculty and other researchers in April. This survey is an extremely important way for you to make your views heard! I urge all faculty to complete the short survey, as the results of this survey will be used to help assist research at UNH. And to make it fun (and profitable!) for participants, 5 IPODS will be awarded as raffle prizes to responders.

This is an opportunity for all faculty, those that are interested in seeking external funding to support their scholarly endeavors, as well as those who are not, to let your views be known. For additional information regarding this initiative, please contact your faculty senate representative.

Sincerely,
Tony Tagliaferro, Chairperson
