C O L L E A G U E S ,

The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) is proud of the outstanding work performed by our researchers, frequently under tremendous time pressure, and we appreciate their dedication to improving scholarship at UNF through the additional personal effort that sponsored research demands. While benefits from such endeavors to the institution are obvious, the impact that research and creative activities have on the careers of our faculty, staff, and students is significant and quite encouraging.

We have chosen this year’s theme of “Growing Your Legacy” to emphasize the

organic and entrepreneurial nature of the research enterprise. The speakers at today’s symposium are among the leaders spurring the campus community toward this growth and each has created a lasting impact – his or her legacy – upon UNF. Some are founding members of UNF and have made sponsored projects part of their life’s work. Others are new to the University but are already making an impact through their research programs. As UNF grows in size and quality, its reputation is enhanced by the impact of these researchers.

We hope you will enjoy learning what your colleagues are pursuing through sponsored projects; perhaps you will even be inspired to explore a research partnership or

work in a new area because of something you learn today.

Northeast Florida Science, Technology, and Mathematics Center for Education, Dr. Faiz Al-Rubaee and Dr. Brian Zoellner, Co-Directors The Northeast Florida Science, Technology, and Mathematics Center for Education (NEFSTEM) was founded in 1985, and is governed by co-directors from both the College of Education and Human Services and the College of Arts and Sciences (Mathematics and Statistics). NEFSTEM provides educational support to elementary, secondary, and higher education level educators and students in the Northeast Florida region, and is committed to enhancing community involvement in education programs in the areas of science, educational technology, and mathematics.

Small Business Development Center, Ms. Janice Williams Donaldson, Director University of North Florida’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is part of a national Association of SBDCs and is part of the Florida SBDC Network. The SBDC at UNF assists potential and existing business owners in 18 counties by providing the management advice, training and information they need to start, grow, and profit. With funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration and partners ranging from institutions of higher learning to state agencies to municipalities, to private organizations, SBDCs are able to offer this management assistance to business owners at little or no cost. The resulting economic impact clients experience as a result of this assistance is reported in the form of jobs created and retained, sales increased, capital accessed and contracts awarded. Independent surveys show that firms assisted by an SBDC experienced job growth of 10% and sales growth of 17% compared to unassisted firms growth rate of 0% and 3% respectively.

Roundtable Discussions Student Union Ballrooms, 1:15pm-2:15pm Encompassing a wide range of disciplines, the roundtable discussions will provide an opportunity for participants to share, explore, and examine research and sponsored activities at UNF. Roundtable Discussion 1: “Building Relationships and Research: How to Cultivate Genuine Respectful Relationships with Potential Funding Sources” Dr. N. Mike Jackson, College of Computing, Engineering, and Construction The discussion will focus on the benefits of cultivating long-term interest in your research and confidence in your professional and ethical approach to research. This sometimes means staying the course when things are difficult, and may even require walking away at other times. The importance of our motives and the role our ego can play in the success of our research efforts will also be discussed. Dr. Jackson’s research has been funded by the Florida Department of Transportation. Roundtable Discussion 2: “Flexibility: The Most Important Requirement in a Successful Research and Development Project” Dr. Joseph Campbell and Dr. James H. Fletcher, College of Computing, Engineering, and Construction The Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) projects have extraordinary promise in developing small-scale, power-producing devices for typical office and home electronic devices. This roundtable will discuss at a high-level what is a DMFC, what are its typical applications, but mostly how the project managers have been able to keep the projects moving forward in an ever-changing technical and economic environment. As the title suggests: FLEXIBILITY has been the key. Roundtable Discussion 3: “Growing the UNF Legacy: Science to Technology to Invention” Dr. Jay Huebner, College of Arts and Sciences Lured by higher pay as an undergraduate, Dr. Huebner chose to major in engineering, getting a Bachelors of Science in electrical engineering in 1961 and obtained a job in the booming aerospace industry. But before long he came to believe he would be happier studying the basic science behind the electrical devices he was working with and began taking graduate physics courses. Several degrees later (M.S. and Ph.D. in physics and post-docs in biophysics and photo-chemistry), Dr. Huebner became a founding faculty member at UNF, where he received federal funding to conduct basic research on interactions of light and electrified membrane and electrode surfaces. His photo-electric chemical sensors co-invention, US Patent # 7,354,770, his sensing device and method for rapidly determining concentrations of microbial organisms using interfacial photo-voltages, US Patent # 7,892,495, and generous grant funding has allowed him to engage in efforts to commercialize these sensors. Dr. Huebner will discuss his journey from an engineering student to patented research scientist. Roundtable Discussion 4: “Pitching Public Service: Closing the Deal with External and Internal Constituencies” Ms. Janice Williams Donaldson, Coggin College of Business Public service is part of UNF’s core mission, but with limited resources, much of the focus has to be on teaching and research. University colleges, departments and institutes focused on public service must ensure that internal constituencies within the University, as well as external stakeholders see value in the activities provided. The Small Business Development Center at UNF has been federally funded since 1976 and relies on the University, cities and counties, and the private-sector to match these federal dollars. Attracting and retaining

program dollars in this climate can be exceedingly difficult. This roundtable discussion will focus on practical techniques for identifying external constituencies, pitching the deal, and closing the deal. In addition, participants will learn about creative ways to calculate return on investment and to communicate value to both external and internal constituencies. The challenge of dealing with conflicting expectations among varied stakeholders will also be addressed. Roundtable Discussion 5: “Preparing Culturally Competent School Counselors” Dr. Carolyn Stone, College of Education and Human Services School counseling professionals are expected to be aware of their own values, biases, and assumptions about human behavior and how they may affect others. It is equally important to acquire knowledge and understanding of the worldview of culturally different students. The forecast for the future will require school counselors to maintain fluidity between self and other focus-embedded within systems thinking (Portman, 2009). The goals of this session are to examine the strategies needed by school counselor candidates to collaborate with culturally diverse students and their families; broaden their world view and global perspective; identify and develop culturally sensitive interventions for a wide range of school counseling issues and settings; and develop systemic approaches to equalize the educational experiences for every student. Regardless of the level of school setting, school counselor candidates must be prepared to provide competent cross-cultural interventions. This discussion will also focus on Dr. Stone’s collaborative research project with Duval County Public Schools. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Dr. Stone’s research project included UNF school counselor candidates participation in experiential activities to increase their awareness, knowledge, and skills of six distinct student cultural groups: recent immigrants, Jewish, Muslim, Black/African-American, Hispanic/Latino, and Asian students. Roundtable Discussion 6: “Quality Research at Community Prices: Creating Community-University Partnerships through an Applied Sociology Research Center” Dr. Jeffry A. Will, College of Arts and Sciences This roundtable discussion will focus on the success of the Northeast Florida Center for Community Initiatives (CCI) in its efforts to combine the academic and service components of UNF’s mission with the applied, as well as more traditional academic research. In the past 15 years over $3.5 million has been obtained in applied contract research, involving a dozen faculty, with over 50 undergraduate and graduate students employed on research projects, and over 300 student volunteers participating. Virtually all of these projects have been participatory in nature, with the design, implementation, and interpretation of the project findings done in partnership with local agencies and non-profit organizations. Partnering agencies include the local Homeless Coalition, Healthy Start of Northeast Florida, The Human Rights Commission, Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Programs, and a variety of local non-profits addressing community development issues in low income neighborhoods. Roundtable Discussion 7: “Searching for Research Funding at UNF: One Man’s Story Involving the Biology of Aging” Dr. John Hatle, College of Arts and Sciences There is a ubiquitous reproduction vs. longevity trade-off in the natural world. Individual animals that delay or reduce reproduction tend to live longer. Two experimental manipulations that extend life span in many animals are dietary restriction (under-eating while avoiding malnutrition) and directly reduced reproduction (i.e., removal of the ovary). Because dietary restriction typically reduces reproductive output, it has been hypothesized that these two ways of extending life span work through the same mechanisms. This research shows that both of these manipulations extend female grasshoppers’ life span and result in similar feeding rates. In contrast to these similarities, dietary restriction and reduced reproduction result in very different levels of nutrient storage in grasshoppers. These results suggest that dietary restriction and reduced reproduction probably increase life span through distinct mechanisms in grasshoppers. Support for this research has been funded through two Academic Research Enhancement Awards from the National Institute on Aging. During the discussion, Dr. Hatle will describe how he re-directed his research efforts which allowed him to end a streak of

three unsuccessful grant proposals. His story suggests that trying a new direction can lead to success in grant applications. Roundtable Discussion 8: “Submitting Your First NIH Grant Proposal: Tips for Success” Dr. Michelle Boling, Brooks College of Health Going through the process of submitting your first NIH grant proposal can be very daunting. Dr. Boling will provide some tips for success when submitting your first grant proposal. She will also discuss the process of revising and resubmitting a NIH grant proposal when it is not awarded following the first submission. Roundtable Discussion 9: “Utilizing Qualitative Research in Case Studies” Dr. Jeffrey E. Michelman and Dr. Robert Slater, Coggin College of Business In this discussion Drs. Michelman and Slater will examine the process of combining archival data and personal interviews in developing a program of field research and business case studies. In particular, they will discuss the use of publicly available information to inform personal interviews and the importance of bringing rigor into the research process. Drs. Michelman and Slater will examine the development of programs of research in the areas of accounting fraud and information technology.
