UK College of Education Research Notes

July, 2005 By Lars G. Björk, Director

 

Research Notes is a monthly publication of the Institute for Educational Research that highlights grant announcements, proposals submitted and received by faculty in the College of Education as well as their collaborative research activities with other colleges. Information included in Research Notes is derived from Internal Approval Forms (IAF) routinely submitted to Office of Sponsored Projects (OSPA) through the College Grants Office. To ensure that Research Notes accurately reflects all College of Education faculty research activities, it is essential that Faith Cordray has a copy of IAF on file.

 

IER RESEARCH SUPPORT:

The IER will provide support for individuals and groups preparing proposals (see http://www.uky.edu/Education/coeresearch.html ), provide post-award management services, furnish advice on research methods, and facilitate large scale survey research projects using OPSCAN equipment.

To receive grant announcements in your field in a timely manner please register with the Community of Science (COS) at http://www.cos.com/
