Indiana 21st Century Research and Technology Fund
UL 0130 Auditorium 
Tony Armstrong, JD, Executive Director and Karl Koehler, PhD, Deputy Director 
This session will cover the history of the 21st Century Fund and how it operates and chooses awardees. A brief description of some of the past awardees will be provided followed by a discussion of the upcoming Round 6. Audience: faculty and staff. Level: more advanced.
Grantsmanship 101: Tips for Taking Your Project to a Fundable Level
UL 0110 Lower Level
Sharon M. Moe, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine, Associate Dean for Research Support, Indiana University School of Medicine
Participants will learn the basics about grants from the types of grants available (including NIH training grants (K awards) for both MD and PhD faculty, and other sources of funding) to the basic steps in writing a grant. Information about an upcoming opportunity to attend a full day grant writing symposia will be included. Audience: faculty and staff. Level: basic.
IT Security Issues and Research
UL 1116 Level 1
Mark Bruhn, CISSP, CISM, Chief IT Security and Policy Officer, Office of the Vice President for Information Technology/CIO, Indiana University
Security issues related to computers and networking are often thought to be significant only for personal and other sensitive institutional data. However, researchers should be as concerned about the impact on their research: systems being affected by viruses and intrusions as well as potential premature disclosure of research data and conclusions. This session will provide a brief overview of technology security issues and some effective ways to defend research operations. Audience: faculty and staff. Level: basic. 
ERA Overview: Where Your Journey Begins
UL 1130 Level 1
Avery Nelson, ERA Systems Administrator, Research and Graduate Education, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis

A desire to understand others and an ability to listen lie at the heart of mentoring and being mentored. Good mentoring requires time and an open mind. Mentoring differs from teaching or coaching because it focuses on maturation of wisdom in an individual, rather than acquisition of skills and competencies.

In the first portion, sub-accounts will be discussed as a robust way to organize and budget task-oriented project expenditures and eliminate shadow systems. In the second portion, available queries in FIS and FDRS will be presented, so that users know the full range of data available within IU's financial system. Audience: administrator. Level: more advanced.  
Export Control Laws
