FW: IMPORTNAT - Chemical Procurement
by Turner, Jaime J 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Students/Faculty/Staff, Most, if not all, of you saw the communication that was sent out last week regarding the hard deadlines for purchases made in Ariba related to the conversion of our financial systems to S4HANA. I greatly appreciate the diligence that many of you have had to stock-up on your needed supplies to ensure that your research is not hindered by this conversion. However, I do need to clarify the policy related to the stock-piling chemicals. 1. Please ONLY order the chemicals that you have the capacity to properly store in your lab. 2. It is NOT ALLOWABLE to store liquid chemicals above eye level. 3. Flammable material MUST be stored in a solvent hood cabinet or flammable storage cabinet. If, during the transition period, you need to order chemicals, you can bring a purchase request approved by Steve to the business office and check out a credit card to make the purchase. I hope that this email clarifies this for you. If you still have questions or concerns, please feel free reach out to me or Steve Jurss. Thank you, ///////////////////////////////////////// Erica Cox Business Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center 1205 W.

MARCH 23, 1159pm PST. We are pleased to announce the 76th Device Research Conference (DRC), to be held at the University of California, Santa Barbara from June 24 to 27, 2018. Two-page abstracts will be accepted by online submission with a deadline of March 16, 2018. The DRC Technical Digest is published by IEEE and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore. For over seven decades, the DRC has brought together leading scientists, researchers, and students to share their latest discoveries in device science, technology and modeling. Notably, many of the first public disclosures of key device technologies were made at the DRC. This year marks the 76th anniversary of the DRC-the longest running device research meeting in the world. As we commemorate this meeting, the high-caliber technical sessions will be highlighted by plenary talks and invited talks by international research pioneers and leaders behind modern electronic technology. Key attractions include: *Plenary and invited presentations given by world-wide leaders including Heike Riel (IBM), Jayant Baliga (NCSU), and Philip Wong (Stanford) *Informative, timely short courses in rapidly developing fields *Oral & poster presentations on electronic/photonic device experiments & simulations *University setting encourages open technical discussion of recent advances *Happy hour dinner at the beach followed by lively evening "rump" sessions *Strong student participation, including student travel support & Student Paper Award The DRC is coordinated with the Electronic Materials Conference (EMC), which is held during the same week from June 27-29, 2018. This recognizes the strong interaction between device and electronic materials research and provides for fruitful exchange of information between attendees of both conferences. Updates on the short course, invited speakers and special sessions will be posted online. For additional inquiries please contact the conference chairs. We hope to see you in Santa Barbara in the Summer of 2018!

IMPORTANT - Procurement Transition Process
by Turner, Jaime J 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hello, We have been communicating for some time that Purdue is undergoing a campus wide transformation process related to many aspects of our daily work life. The finance module of this project is set to "go-live" on July 1st, 2018. This transformation will redesign the core financial structure to a standardized structure that allows us to truly utilize SAP. In order to prepare for this transition, there will be a period of time where we will not be allowed to place orders through Ariba. IMPORTANT DATES: * April 18th - Any orders greater than $10K have to be submitted and approved in Ariba * May 9th - Final day for ALL OTHER Ariba orders to be submitted - "requester role" will be removed from all who have access * May 10th - July 1st: o P-cards will be used for purchases that are considered low-risk/small transactions. Our credit card limits will be increased to account for the increase in transactions. o Direct Payments will be used when a vendor will not accept credit cards. However, payment will not be submitted to the vendor until AFTER July 1st. o For high risk/capital equipment a form 12 will need to be submitted to the procurement help desk so that the appropriate authorizations can be obtained via DocuSign. BEST PRACTICES FOR TRANSITION PERIOD: * If you plan on ordering a piece of capital equipment, please obtain all necessary documentation and approvals and enter the PO no later than 4/18. * If you routinely purchase certain items or have specific orders scheduled for May or June, please place those orders now. * Long-term or multi-year projects should be broken down into multiple POs with the first phase anything that would need paid out prior to the end of June. * If you have a situation that you are unsure of, please discuss with the business office. If you have ANY questions or concerns, please let me know. Thank you all for your understanding on this matter. ///////////////////////////////////////// Erica Cox Business Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center 1205 W.

Analysis of the National Science Foundation FY 2019 Budget Request
by Reger, Ronald K 13 Mar '18

Dear All, You might find the attached interesting and/or useful as you plan for research proposals for FY 2019. This report shows the Federal Budget and areas of emphasis.

This update reflects full NSF FY 2019 budget request details, which were released on February 28. NSF would be provided with $7.472 billion in funding, essentially flat with FY 2017 levels. The budget request would prioritize the ten Big Ideas for Future Investment, devoting $342 million in new funding across all ten Big Ideas, while individual research divisions would see cuts ranging from 1 to 11 percent. Big Ideas funding would be available to support research, education, and infrastructure across all NSF-supported disciplines. The attached analysis contains information on Big Ideas plans and other proposed signature investments, as well as proposed reductions, including to several Obama-era initiatives that were already slated to wind down, Graduate Research Fellowships, CAREER awards, and several education programs.
