The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs joins the rest of the University and Oxford/Lafayette community in expressing sadness and grief for our friends and neighbors throughout Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama who are suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The research community responded, like so many others from our community, by helping pack truckloads of food, water and necessities headed for the Gulf Coast, and by assisting the community-wide efforts at our local Katrina Resource Center.

As the tragedy unfolded, however, it became clear that the ORSP was in a unique position to assist our colleagues at universities affected by the hurricane by sharing space with displaced researchers, postdocs, and graduate students. It is our hope that by providing a place for our colleagues to work, we can help keep the research engines going.

If you know of displaced colleagues who are looking for a place to carry on their research, please direct them to the ORSP website at www.research.olemiss.edu or send email to research@olemiss.edu.

Many agencies are doing what they can to ensure that research continues to move forward. Some who have contacted us or otherwise posted information are:

Some other recovery efforts by members of the Ole Miss family include the following:

• Chris Mullen (Civil Engineering) was called upon immediately to assist the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) with modeling the expected effects of the storm. His predictions, though all too accurate, allowed MEMA to focus its efforts on the most affected areas.  
• Greg Easson (Geology and Geological Engineering) stationed his graduate students at the MEMA Emergency Operations Center in Jackson where they worked night and day alongside groups from Mississippi State, Delta State, and various state agencies preparing “before” and “after” maps for FEMA and MEMA, and providing latitude and longitude coordinates for Coast Guard helicopter pilots as they receive addresses where people might be trapped.
• Several faculty from the Department of Sociology and Anthropology made two trips to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, delivering donated supplies, lending aid to victims, and transporting evacuees who wanted to leave the area. Faculty involved in this effort were Kirsten Dellinger, Robbie Ethridge, Jeff Jackson, and David Swanson; they were accompanied and assisted by family members and other UM faculty and Oxford friends. For complete details about these two expeditions, see the UM Newsdesk story.
• Lucile McCook and Cliff Ochs (Biology) helped retrieve and stabilize many herbarium specimens from USM's devastated Gulf Coast Research Laboratory. To read Dr. McCook's description of the process and see some photos, go to www.herbarium.olemiss.edu/gcrl.html. To see photos of the destruction at GCRL and read a status report, go to www.usm.edu/gcrl/katrina/.
• An archaeological recovery team led by Professor Jay Johnson and including Assistant Professor Matthew Murray, Associate Professor Robbie Ethridge, and archaeology graduate student Erin Stevens, all of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, as well as Department of Art Chair and Professor Nancy Wicker (who is an archaeologist) assisted in recovery of artifacts and art belonging to the extended family of Walter Anderson and his two brothers Peter and Mac at Shearwater Pottery in Ocean Springs. Although the art displayed at the Walter Anderson Museum is mostly safe, Anderson works at the family compound consisting of several houses, studios, a showroom, and storage were destroyed or damaged. From 16-18 September, the University of Mississippi team of archaeologists recovered some linoleum blocks, silkscreens, and pottery as well as family-made furniture and painted panels from various structures on the 26 acre peninsula belonging to the family.

And the list goes on – if you know of others who should be added, please email orspweb@olemiss.edu.

An ABC reporter quoted one of Mississippi's own, William Faulkner, when he said “ I believe that man will not merely endure. He will prevail.” This is our challenge, and the research community is rising to help meet it so that progress continues in spite of this disaster.

Well-Defined Search Criteria Lead to Relevant Results
If you are seeing information in your COS Funding Alert that is not relevant to you, you probably need to refine or update your search criteria. Many COS Funding Alert users have never reviewed or refined their search criteria after initial account set-up when UM first subscribed to the Community of Science services. Others may have neglected to update their criteria to reflect the evolution in their work and interests. COS Funding Alert can only search on the criteria set by users, so if those criteria are not kept current, the results can be less than useful. Each user can define up to five different searches, so you can receive targeted, relevant results for multiple purposes. To modify your search criteria, access the COS Funding Alert section of your COS Workbench.

New and Updated Funding Sponsors
Many sponsors represented in the COS Funding Opportunities database offer several opportunities, and many offer recurring opportunities. COS's team of Funding Editors works with existing COS sponsors to get new and updated information, and since June they have also added nearly 70 new sponsors to the database. To search the database, access the Search COS Funding Opportunities section of your COS Workbench.

University of Mississippi Faculty Research Program ~ Deadline October 3
The primary purpose of the Faculty Research Program (FRP) is to provide initial support for projects that will be of interest to external funding agencies. The program may also support projects that:

• are in areas where external funding is presently unavailable or very limited;
• are small or limited in scope, such that seeking external funding would be impractical or inappropriate;
• are of a “high risk” nature or involve highly innovative new concepts that might be less competitive when compared with more mainstream proposals in an external agency review.

Priority will be given to beginning tenure track faculty who are establishing their programs, followed by more advanced scholars and researchers who are changing areas of study. Faculty who have received previous FRP support or who are currently receiving external funding will be given lower priority for institutional support. Guidelines and application are at www.olemiss.edu../../../funding/orsp_internal.html.
