ORD Opportunities: June 1 Deadline for Use of New NSF Biosketch Format and New PAPPG Rules Approaching
|
|
Researchers and research administrators,
The change that will impact researchers most directly is a change in the required format for biographical sketch submission. NSF is providing only two options for preparing the biosketch. Uploading a regular PDF file will result in an error message upon proposal submission.
The options for the biosketch are:
PreAward Services will be assisting with the Current and Pending as they have in the past.
The Office of Research Development and PreAward Services will continue to provide updated information and serve as resources as these changes are implemented. Contact our offices at
ord@k-state.edu
and
research@k-state.edu
with questions.

New invention disclosure form
|
|
While some research efforts at K-State have been put on pause due to COVID-19, a number of faculty continue to work on innovative solutions to help overcome this global pandemic.
In the past two months, K-State Innovation Partners has received seven invention disclosures related to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These invention disclosures range from potential vaccines, to personal protection equipment improvements, to viral enzyme inhibitors, and novel biosensors for diagnostics and testing.
Our commercialization team is actively reaching out to interested companies that are interested in sponsoring further research and testing with the goal of getting successful products to the market. A couple of these inventions have already been licensed.
To help make the disclosure process easy, K-State Innovation Partners refreshed its invention disclosure document, which can be downloaded on the
research website.
The new document is easier to use and provides clarity on many areas that previously caused inventors questions.
