Grantsmanship Seminar set for Oct.
21-22
The Office of Research & Graduate Studies is
sponsoring
a grant-writing seminar, "Write Winning
Grants," Oct.
21 and 22 at the Nebraska Union. It will be
presented by renowned
grant-writing consultant David C. Morrison
and will meet from
8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 21 and 8:30 a.m. to
noon Oct. 22. The
workshop is geared toward faculty interested in
external funding
and will be useful to those with previous, current
or no prior
funding.
Morrison is a professor, grant
writer and administrator and
has helped thousands of faculty
members across the country improve
their grant writing skills and
obtain external funding. Morrison's
company, Grant Writers'
Seminars and Workshops, LLC, has been
working with UNL faculty for
more than a year.
The focus of this seminar will be to
improve grantsmanship
skills that are required to pursue federal
funding successfully.
Although the workshop will focus specifically
on grant proposals
to the National Institute of Health, the
National Science Foundation
and the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
the information can be
used to help prepare a grant application to
any agency in any
discipline.
The Office of Research
and Graduate Studies will fund the
tuition and materials for the
first 120 UNL faculty members who
register for this seminar.
Participants will be required to attend
the entire seminar and must
agree to submit at least one proposal
for competitive external
funding within the next year.
To register, e-mail Peg
Filliez at <pfilliez1@unl.edu>
in the
Office of Research and Graduate Studies and indicate which
of these
three federal agencies you're most interested in: NIH,
NSF or USDA.
Because of the limited number of spots available,
those interested
should register as soon as possible.
Degree Application Deadline Sept. 27
Sept. 27 is the
deadline for applying for a degree to be received
on Dec. 21. A $25
non-refundable degree application fee must

to another
term. Applications are to be filed at the Graduation
Services
Office, 109 Canfield Administration Building.
Police warn of e-mail,
telephone scams
The UNL Police Department is warning
employees and students
to beware of a proliferation of e-mail and
phone solicitations
asking for money or help with money transfers.
Most are not legitimate.
"When people fall for
these scams, there is little that
can be done to get any money
back," said Owen Yardley, UNL
police chief.
Recently, campus e-mail accounts have been blanketed with
variations of what has been termed the "Nigerian letter,"
where a fictitious African expatriate or government official
asks
recipients to assist in the transfer of a large sum of money.
"Various versions of this letter exist and have been
around
for at least 15-20 years," Yardley said. "I
can remember
it being sent out in regular mail before the onslaught
of
computers, so you can imagine how profitable it must be."
Yardley says options for dealing with such requests are simple:
Do not respond or send money. Delete or destroy the request.
E-mails may be forwarded to the attorney general's office. People
should check postmarks on letters received by standard mail;
if it
is local they should contact a local law enforcement agency.
If
not, they may contact the attorney general's office.
Another common scam begins as a telemarketer calls with an
offer
to sell insurance or other products and ultimately places
bogus
charges on the recipient's bank account.
Yardley offers
these tips to avoid being scammed:
- Do not
provide any personal information such as social security
numbers.
- Do not provide charge card numbers, bank accounts or authorization
pin numbers.
- If you are unsure as to the credibility of the
caller, ask
for a phone number and address of their business
along with a
supervisor's name. Do not call back immediately;
delay a few
hours or a day. Check the name through the Better
Business Bureau.
- If you are a true winner in a contest, you
will not have
to pay to receive a prize. (Prize winners sometimes
have to pay
taxes, but should not pay a security deposit.)
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
