2010-2011 Annual Report is now available

New!Annual report 2010-2011  At Purdue University, we are energized by our broadening global footprint. Travel along with us as we seek to make the world a better place.
Map the origins of Purdue University faculty, staff and students, and you'll see the vibrant geography that enriches our collective experiences: 125 countries and 6 continents represented among 55,000 individuals.
The issues we face here are simultaneously global and local. Hunger. Disease. Poverty. Climate change. True solutions require broad, long term and sustainable collaborations among people with distinct but complementary perspectives.


Upcoming OVPR Workshops

How to Use NIH Data for your Strategic Advantage

The final NIH workshop will cover strategies for analyzing and utilizing NIH award data and advisory council information.  This information can be useful in understanding how to position future proposals, research collaborations, and upcoming (not-yet-released) calls for proposal.  We will also reserve some time to answer general questions about NIH in general or specific institute strategies as well as grantsmanship issues. This workshop is scheduled for Thursday, February 16, 11:30AM-1:00PM in Stewart Center, room 202.

If you have additional questions about the workshop, please contact Perry Kirkham at:  pkirkham@purdue.edu.

Lunch is provided so registration is required by February 13, 2012. Click here to register.
