ORTT
announces new resources for faculty
Reminder:
The Office of Research and Technology Transfer
recently announced a recent database acquisition--InfoEd’s GENIUS
and SPIN databases. GENIUS is an expertise database that allows
scholars to maintain online Bio-Sketches, upload supporting
materials (e.g., publications, photos, audio files, etc.); track
professional development and research activities; and develop a wide
range of reports. SPIN enables faculty to identify the most recent
funding opportunities. The SPIN service also includes SMARTS (the
SPIN Matching and Research Transmittal Service), an automated alerts
system that notifies faculty of programs that match their research
interests. This robust database tracks over 6,000 government,
private, and non-profit funding sources worldwide and has the
capacity to generate proposal templates that are pre-loaded with all
relevant program details. All faculty are encouraged to take
advantage of these resources by registering for one of the numerous
training sessions offered by the
Interactive Teaching and Technology Center
(ITTC). Visit the ITTC online for registration
information and
training schedules. This program is a cooperative effort between
the Office of Academic Affairs and Research, the Office of Research
and Technology Transfer, ITTC, and the Dean B. Ellis Library. For
details, contact Latonya
Tidwell, ext. 2694.
