Your
COS Faculty Expertise Profile by Elizabeth Miller
The
Community of Science (COS) Faculty Expertise database serves as a
central repository for faculty expertise and research interests for
more than 1,300 universities, government agencies, and other research
and development organizations around the world. Your profile could be
your ticket to greater exposure within the professional community.
University administrators, government
officials, and some federal funding agencies (including the National
Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation) all use the
database to locate faculty members with specific research interests and
expertise and to identify peer reviewers or potential collaborators.
International corporate giants use it to find consultants and
technology transfer candidates, and international media organizations
use it to find experts on a wide variety of topics.
Having your profile in the COS Expertise
database will help promote your availability for such opportunities. In
addition, this is free to you. MU has an institutional membership that
guarantees anyone at MU can benefit from this resource. If you have
questions about how to create or update your profile, please contact
the Elizabeth Miller at millered@missouri.edu or
882-2139.

HES Leads the Way in Recycling
by Barb Buffaloe
Recyling Bins are located in various
parts of Gwynn
and Stanley Halls.
Campus
Facilities received a grant to
fund constructing
the bins. Student interns
built the
bins.
Each day, MU discards more
than
30,000
pounds of solid waste. More than
8,000 pounds of that trash could easily be
recycled. Recycling saves MU $103,000 per year in hauling and
disposal costs. University Bill 46-46 set a goal to be a nearly
waste-free campus. To accomplish this task, the University must improve
their recycling efforts and the College of Human Environmental Sciences
is doing its part.
HES is the first college to embrace
recycling. Faculty, staff and students are asked to place their
recyclables in multi-bin containers in the hallways. Currently,
students from the Department of Architectural Studies collect the
materials and place them in carts in the basement of Gwynn. A cardboard
recycling container is also available there, but you are asked to break
down the boxes so it is more convenient for those who are handling the
recycling. Please do your part to help recycling on campus and in
our college.
This effort follows up on information provided
by Steve Burdic, Coordinator of Solid Waste and Recycling, at the
College of Human Environmental Sciences Spring Faculty Meeting,
January 2008. For more information on recycling in HES, contact
Barbara Buffaloe, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
Accredited Professional, by e-mail at buffaloeb@missouri.edu. To learn more about recycling on campus, please visit the
Campus Facilities website: http://www.cf.missouri.edu/ls/recycle/.

Why
Proposals Fail
by Elizabeth Miller
In todays tight funding environment, to get a grant
award often means that you have submitted your proposal more than
once, maybe more than twice. Recently I learned of one that was
resubmitted six times before being funded on the 7th and final
effort. By the way, it was then scored in the top 7%.
Persistence and effort pays off.
So, how do you approach those review summary
statements. How can you effectively turn a negative into a positive. Susan Hazelwood and
Diane
Oerly from the MU Office of Research and the Division
of Information Technology (DoIT) have 37 years of combined grant
experience and have agreed to share their knowledge with us. Bring your
questions and join us on April 25 from 12-1:30 in 101 Gwynn Hall.
As pizza and dessert will be provided, to register, call
Diane Davis at 882-7014 or e-mail Davisdia@missouri.edu. Please respond by April 22 so we can
adequately prepare. All HES faculty, staff and students are welcome.

New
HES Banner
by Diane
Davis
 A
window-shade banner specifically for the College of Human
Environmental Sciences is available for exhibit
and public
relations use, and it's an attractive addition to displays
at student
career fairs, advisory board meetings or other
events sponosred
by HES departments and the School of Social Work.
The new 3 x 7 banner is designed to
complement the two
existing MU tiger banners, which are available
from HES
Extension. Diane Davis, administrative assistant, Office
of Research and Graduate Studies, used the new banner
at the
Feb. 26 Career Expo at Westminster College in Fulton
to recruit
graduate students for HES programs.
The new banner weighs 10 pounds
or less and is quite easy
to set up and use, said Davis.
The banner can be checked out
for events by HES staff or faculty from HES Student Services
Office, by calling Linda Adamson, administrative assistant,
at 882-6424, or by e-mailing Adamsonl@missouri.edu.
