FW: Funding opportunity for Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant Graduate Student and Faculty Scholars
by Lee, Linda S 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

One of Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant's (IISG) long-term goals is to help build a community of researchers and outreach professionals focused on critically important Lake Michigan issues. The IISG Scholars programs are designed to help build this community by introducing researchers to the issues and the stakeholders affected by them. In addition, the programs are intended to help graduate student scholars further the impact of their research, and faculty scholars develop innovative, fundable proposals for future work in the region. Past scholar projects can be reviewed at https://iiseagrant.org/category/iisg-scholars/. The 2022 IISG Scholars competition is now open for Graduate Students and Faculty. Awards are issued for one year and activities should be completed during that year. IISG expects to support 5-7 Graduate Student Scholars and 3-4 Faculty Scholars in 2022. The full Request for Applications, including award amounts and application requirements, can be found at https://iiseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-IISG-Scholars-RFA.pdf. Applicants for both opportunities (graduate students or faculty) should submit materials via https://esg.iiseagrant.org/ by 5:00 p.m. Central time on March 18, 2022. Applications should be submitted to the "IL-IN SG 2022 Scholars Competition". Late applications will not be accepted unless the applicant has contacted IISG staff before the deadline to make them aware of potential issues, (e.g., computer, power, or internet issues). Office hours, where potential applicants can ask questions about the technical aspects of their applications, will be held Tuesdays 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. and Fridays from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., both Eastern time, throughout the month of February. Connection information can be requested by emailing Research Coordinator Carolyn Foley at cfoley(a)purdue.edu<mailto:cfoley@purdue.edu>. In addition, recordings outlining the technical aspects of applications, e.g., budget and forms preparation, will be posted to https://iiseagrant.org/research/funding-opportunities/ by February 16, 2022. -- Carolyn Foley Research Coordinator Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant Purdue University 195 Marsteller Road West Lafayette, IN 47907 Email: cfoley(at)purdue.edu<http://purdue.edu/> Phone: 765-494-3601 www.iiseagrant.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?…> Pronouns: she/hers

On Jan 5, 2022, at 10:51 AM, Pawley, Alice L <apawley(a)purdue.edu<mailto:apawley@purdue.edu>> wrote: Dear WFEC colleagues, While many of us are working hard after a record-short winter break to prepare to teach in person during an Omicron surge, possibly with our kids at home, President Daniels published his annual “letter to the people of Purdue” today. Here is the link: https://www.purdue.edu/president/messages/annual-open-letters/2201-med-open… I will copy a section I find concerning, to say the least, below: Where Are All the Men? If 2020 was the year when a search for value asserted itself, 2021 was the year when the nation finally discovered an issue long in plain view. Sparked by a major article in The Wall Street Journal<https://www.wsj.com/articles/college-university-fall-higher-education-men-w…>, a host of journals began examining the 3:2 disparity in women to men on college campuses. The New York Times reported, “The latest enrollment numbers for Spring 2021 show a record gap between the sexes.” There is nothing new about the phenomenon; it dates back at least three decades. What was new was the dawning realization that, in a knowledge economy where educational credentials and the skills that (theoretically) they confer are more and more essential, leaving half the population behind would be a problem for society. Again, The New York Times reported, “The simple mathematics of more women than men earning college degrees means that many highly educated women will either have to partner with less-educated men, or forgo partnership,” resulting in a lower birthrate. How ironic if, after a half-century of historic, overdue progress integrating women fully into the nation’s economic, social and political life, we gave back the immense societal gains of that climb because men stopped holding up their end. Assuming one agrees that this is a problem, Purdue is playing a part in addressing it. Our historic average of about 57% men in the undergraduate population has held remarkably steady, even as many other schools saw that share drop to the low 40’s or even lower. There is no intention behind this against the trend position, and no mystery about the reasons. Young men and women select into various disciplines at very different rates, and the STEM subjects which are relatively predominant at Purdue tend to attract men. We have, and will extend, a host of programs to recruit more women into these disciplines. As one example, our 26% female share of engineering students is one of the nation’s highest. (I have sometimes observed that no one ever writes to express concern that we need more men in our 87% female veterinary medicine college, or our 89% female nursing department, or our 64% female college of pharmacy.) Purdue cannot solve this looming national problem, but sending out thousands of exceptional young engineers, computer scientists, and other technology experts who happen to be men is a contribution few other institutions are making. Well, it’s good to know that Purdue is holding up the side of disproportionate numbers of men in engineering in order to gender-balance the undergraduate population to provide educated women with acceptably educated men to marry. Our President is listing our disproportionate number of men in engineering as an asset. I can’t even. But if you want to rage-write an open letter to the President with me and send it to the Exponent, let me know. It will be a nice break from my course prep (one of them, fortuitiously, on gender, race and class theory in engineering education). Alice. _______________________________________________ wfec-list mailing list wfec-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu<mailto:wfec-list@ecn.purdue.edu> https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/wfec-list _______________________________________________ wfec-list mailing list wfec-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu<mailto:wfec-list@ecn.purdue.edu> https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/wfec-list
