After approval, the project will then appear on the site and can begin accepting donations. The project creator receives all donations raised, regardless if the funding goal is not met. www.superiorideas.org Superior Ideas

  27. On Campus Resources

  28. Research Centers and Institutes 21 Different Research Centers and Institutes. Potential Benefits of Affiliating With a Center/Institute: • Foster and promote interdisciplinary research & education around a particular theme • Offer shared facilities, equipment, and resources to promote activities of the affiliated faculty • Provide shared administrative support to assist faculty in scholarly activities • Encourage collaboration via seminars, speakers, travel assistance, graduate student talks, and related activity • Provide limited financial assistance for cost sharing, equipment time, travel, or other center-building activities Centers and Institutes

  29. Shared Facilities Eight Different Shared Facilities A Shared Facility is:  • Acollection of equipment, tools, and/or space identified by the University as essential to high priority research activities, usually interdisciplinary activities, that span multiple departments, schools, centers, and institutes. The equipment typically require dedicated skilled technical staff and may be located in contiguous space or be spread among several different physical locations. • Shared facilities support interdisciplinary and guest research by providing communal space, tools, and equipment. • Shared facilities are able to apply for funds to cover costs associated with research, like replacing and maintaining equipment. Shared Facilities
