Mike Shaw, six Chemistry research students, and collaborator George Richter-Addo from The University of Oklahoma, promoted current SIUE Chemistry research and charmed audiences with scientific exhibits during the American Chemical Society’s “Day at the Science Center,” an annual local event which is part of National Chemistry Week in mid-October. Armed with print materials and a “magic” solution that turns blue when in shaken but colorless when standing, Shaw and his team educated St. Louis Science Center visitors about simple notions and tools in Chemical science. The goal: illustrate how research instruments can reveal changes that the eye cannot. On display were projects and instruments currently funded through the Na-tional Science Foundation and serving as basis for ongoing col-laborative research. Among the featured items was a poster showing Shaw and Richter-Addo’s NSF-funded work on metalloporphyrin compounds, or metal atoms surrounded by a flat organic structure. Shaw and Richter-Addo study how electron transfer in such molecules changes structure and properties. Of particular interest is the heme group, which is ubiquitous in the human body and whose electron transfer reactions are fundamental to molecule function. Changes in the structure of these molecules are at the root of many common health issues. It is hoped that by understanding how minor changes in a heme structure can change its function, new insights into the role of molecule changes in human health may be brought to light. To illustrate how tools aid their work in molecular research, Shaw and team exhibited major lab instruments used in SIUE projects. This included the Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectrometer (acquired through the 2008 NSF-MRI program) which uses a magnetic field in order to “line up” electrons and probe a molecule’s structural information with microwaves. The EPR Spectrometer is used to investigate

THE DEAN’S CORNER Hi Everyone, In case you have been busy or have unsubscribed from the announce list, I recently stepped in as Acting Associate Provost for Research and Dean of the Graduate School. Dr. Steve Hansen decided to return to faculty in Historical Studies to re-connect with his passion for teaching. Under his leadership SIUE made great advances in providing quality graduate education and funded research. Please join me in thanking Steve for his commitment and contribution to the vision of SIUE. Steve’s positioning of the Graduate School has made it easier for me to step into the role. I am constantly asked how things are going for me, and my consistent answer is “BUSY!”. But it is a good busy. The Graduate School is connected to so many aspects of the University and is so central to its mission that on any single day I find myself addressing dozens of different issues … and that is what makes this an interesting and exciting position. This brings me to the main point of today’s corner. I could not have transitioned into the Graduate School without the support of its great staff. The Graduate School Staff oversees all graduate programs and the Office of Research & Projects Staff oversees the development and administration of all grants and contracts. For now I would like to bring particular attention to the staff of the Office of Research & Projects (ORP). They make every effort to stay up-to-date with State and Federal funding programs and requirements. They take great pride in being able to assist faculty with their funded projects and to answer the many questions that come to them on a daily basis. We have a true cradle-to-grave service when it comes assisting faculty with grants. Even from the inception point of your project, the Pre-Award Staff can assist you in identifying potential funding sources, give advice on the writing, help construct the budget, and review your proposal before submission to improve your chance of success. After being awarded a grant, the Post-Award Staff members help you set-up your budget, assist in the commission of spending and purchases, make themselves available to answer budget question you may have, and track your grant for reporting. When-ever you see notice of one of the many workshops that the ORP staff conducts, I strongly urge you to attend … you will certainly benefit from their knowledge. SIUE is enjoying a remarkable insurgence of externally-funded grant activity. We have begun to garner national recognition for our scholarly work. While this takes committed and creative faculty as yourself, it cannot be accomplished without the support of the ORP staff. Please join me in recognizing their commitment and hard work. Jerry Weinberg

anything from the reactivity of biologically-relevant heme models (hemoglobin, liver enzymes, and blood pressure regulations), to cell membranes at different temperatures, to the dating of bone fragments from sites along the Illinois River. Also portrayed were the new Raman and Hyperion IR Microscopes, acquired by SIUE through a 2010 NSF Major Research Instrumentation Grant. Using infrared (IR) light and vibrational analysis, the microscopes will provide researchers with information about substances or objects without destroying the

sample. The tools will be useful for re-searchers in various disciplines, like Chemistry, Forensics, Biology and An-thropology, and will foster research on such topics as the characterization of dyes and materials in Native American artifacts and contaminants in living ani-mal tissue. Yet the most engaging aspect of the day was a modest tool—a bottle filled with clear liquid that turned blue when shaken and clear when set upright again. Research students explained to visitors how the solution contained a dye that is colorless when given electrons but blue when the electrons are

removed. Shaw says, “We used our UV-VIS fiber-optic dip probe to show the changes that occur in the spectra. The display was projected on a screen with the bottle illuminated by the projector. The key point was that most of the changes in the displayed graph occurred long before the people could detect any change in the bottle's color.” The simple presentation allowed the team to illustrate to young people and adults how equipment can be used to detect changes before the human eye can see a difference. Says Shaw of the presentation: “Our [demonstration] seemed to be the only one that was geared towards teenagers and adults, but it also engaged the younger children. Taking actual research equipment and showing how we used it was something the adults really appreci-ated.” —Patience Graybill Condellone with Mike Shaw

The Graduate School is pleased to announce new online information about technology licensing and the transfer of new technologies to the marketplace. Recognizing that research and innovation provide the seeds for future economic growth and community prosperity, the graduate School has developed a variety of new services to facilitate the technology transfer process. The new technology transfer sub site offers SIUE researchers information about a variety of intellectual property-related services, including innovation identification, patent and copyright assessment, patent and copyright protection, and licensing. The mission of SIUE's technology licensing program is to transfer research results to commercial application for public use and benefit, bringing the benefits of discovery to the world. We seek to accomplish this mission by supporting faculty entrepreneurship, fostering university-industry relationships, and assisting in the movement of university inventions to the marketplace. Technology Transfer or Licensing begins with cutting edge research and development on campus. The Office of Research and Projects manages the evaluation of invention disclosures for potential patent or copyright protection and viable licensing. —C.

Illinois Education Research Council Releases Six‐Year Longitudinal Study on the Illinois High School Class of 2002

(EDWARDSVILLE, Ill.) At a time when the importance of completing a college degree has become the focus of many national and state policy initiatives, such as the President’s American Graduation Initiative, Complete College America and the Illinois Public Agenda, the Illinois Education Research Council has released a longitudinal study highlighting the enrollment and completion patterns of the Illinois High School Class of 2002. The study follows 113,135 Illinois public high school students, who took the ACT in 2001, on their journeys through postsecondary education. The students’ higher education enrollment and completion patterns were collected over a six-year period—Fall of 2002 through Spring of 2008—and analyzed for this report. Given this rich dataset, the IERC researchers made several important findings, many of which have direct policy implications. Though there is much more to be investigated, some of the major findings include: Overall Enrollment and Graduation Patterns   79% of the cohort enrolled in higher education at some point in the six years; 62% enrolled during the fall semester of 2002 and 17% delayed their postsecondary enrollment. 36% of the cohort initially enrolled at a four-year institution, with roughly two-thirds (67%) graduating with a bachelor’s degree with the six-year study period. 26% of the cohort initially enrolled at a community college, with half (51%) attaining a positive outcome (transferring to a four-year institution, completing a certificate, or earning an associate’s degree). College readiness matters. The combination of ACT score and high school GPA was extremely important in term of college enrollment and bachelor’s completion. Nearly three-quarters (74%) of the most ready students initially enrolled at a four-year institution, of which 82% graduated with a bachelor’s degree,   On the other hand, only 11% of the non/least ready students initially enrolled at a four-year institution, of which 38% students graduated with a bachelor’s degree.  Transferring from an Illinois Community College to a four-year institution is a viable pathway to bachelor’s completion. 54% of the two-year to four-year transfers graduated with a bachelor’s degree and an additional 25% were still enrolled

in higher education at the end of the study.   Students who are not/least ready taking the two-year to four-year transfer pathway had slightly higher bachelor’s completion rates than their not/least ready counterparts who initially enrolled at a four-year institution (40% to 38%, respectively). Students who earned an associate’s degree and transferred had a bachelor’s completion rate of 64%. Female students outperform their male counterparts in almost all aspects of higher education enrollment and completion. Females enroll in postsecondary at a higher rate than males (82% to 76%). Females complete bachelor’s degrees at a higher rate than males (70% to 63%).  A high proportion of the students initially enrolling at a four-year institution do so out-of-state, most of which are public colleges.   29% of students who initially attend a four year institution attend out-of-state colleges. 54% of those that attend out-of-state institutions attend public colleges.  This report is a continuation of several IERC reports following the Illinois Class of 2002 and will become the basis of several future papers providing a more in-depth analysis of out-of-state enrollees, delayed starters, reverse transfers, patterns by sector, as well as, an examination of enrollment and completion patterns of disabled students and other underrepresented groups. For these and other IERC publications, see: http://ierc.siue.edu/iercpublication.asp.

Three high-profile reports released in September have once again put STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) firmly on the national agenda. Rising Above the Gathering Storm, Revisited1 makes the case that the foundations of U.S. economic competitiveness, including math and science education, continue to erode, placing the nation at risk of losing its ability to compete in the global economy. Prepare and Inspire: K-12 Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) for America’s Future2 recommends actions to ensure that all students are given the foundation in STEM subjects they will need in their personal and professional lives. STEM education must be effective, but it must also generate excitement that will inspire some to choose STEM careers. Finally, Preparing the Next Generation of STEM Innovators3 sounds a warning bell that as we are taking steps to raise the level of STEM achievement among all students, we must be sure to nurture and support those students with exceptional scientific and technological talent. This next generation of STEM innovators will develop the future products, processes, and services that will help drive our innovation system and improve quality of life. SIUE responded decisively to the national STEM challenge by creating the Center for STEM Research, Education, and Outreach, which I joined on July 15th, 2010. As the new Director, I feel privileged to help lead SIUE’s efforts to develop, promote, and strengthen STEM education. The Center and its staff have been busy assessing the current status of STEM in the region and forging new partnerships to increase impact. We invite everyone at SIUE with an interest in STEM to be a part of the Center’s work.

SIUe RESEARCH CENTERS………………………...

Illinois Education Research Council (IERC) The IERC recently published two research reports to help inform Illinois’ education policy makers and stakeholders. The first, The State of Leadership: Public School Principals in Illinois, by Kathleen Brown and Brad White, examines demographic, experience, and academic characteristics of principals in Illinois public schools from 2001 through 2008. This is the first report of a study funded by the Joyce Foundation, with the final report expected in Spring 2011. The second report, A Longitudinal Study of the Illinois High School Class of 2002: A Six-Year Analysis of Postsecondary Enrollment and Completion, by David Smalley, Eric Lichtenberger, and Kathleen Brown, highlights the enrollment and completion patterns of the Illinois High School Class of 2002 (See p6). The study follows 113,135 Illinois public high school students, who took the ACT in 2001, over a six-year period on their journeys through postsecondary educa-tion. Given this rich dataset, several important findings were identified, many of which have direct policy implications. This report is a continuation of several IERC reports following the Illinois Class of 2002 and will become the basis of several future papers providing a more in-depth analysis of out-of-state enrollees, delayed starters, reverse transfers, patterns by sector, as well as an examination of enroll-ment and completion patterns of students with disabilities and other underrepresented groups. For these and other IERC publications, see http://ierc.siue.edu/iercpublication.asp. IERC researchers have also been busy this Fall presenting the results of these studies at national and state conferences including The University Council of Educational Administration, The Illinois Association of Institutional Research, and The Illinois Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admission Officers. Lastly, Kathleen Brown, former Executive Director of the IERC, has returned to her full-time teaching and research responsibilities at The University of Missouri-St Louis. Kathleen will continue with the IERC in order to complete her research activities related to the Leadership in Illinois public schools study through Spring 2011. Brenda Klostermann, Associate Director/Assistant Research Professor, moved into the Acting Director role of the IERC starting Aug 16. A national search for a permanent Executive Director is underway.

COMPLIANCE CORNER………………………………… ORP Launches New Biosafety Website; Includes New Risk Assessment Tool Policy The SIUE Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) now has it own website at:www.siue.edu/research/humansubjectsprotection/biosafety_home.shtml. On this website faculty, staff, and students will find easy access to the newly revised Policy on Biohazardous Material Use, Biosafety forms, and the brand new Risk Assessment tool. The Risk Assessment tool was designed by the IBC to help researchers determine if their project will require full IBC review. Just go to the website and follow these steps: • Read the SIUE “Policy on Biohazardous Material Use” • If you believe that you may intend to do the types of activities covered by the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), read the IBC Definition of Biohazardous Material and compare to your planned use of biological materials. • If your planned activity type is covered by the IBC AND it includes the use of Biohazardous Materials, then you must do a professional Risk Assessment and complete an IBC Risk Assessment form according to both its referenced, and its explicit guidance. Submit the completed IBC Risk Assessment form to the IBC Chair,

OR • If you submit only the Risk Assessment form, the chair of the IBC will advise you as to whether you

may proceed immediately, or whether you must submit a full Application to Use Biohazardous Material to the IBC, and await approval. For all activities with biohazardous materials whether covered by the IBC or not, please consult the SIUE Emergency Management & Safety Department for other requirements.

If at this point you are sure that your activity will be classified as Biosafety Level 2 or higher, complete both the “Risk Assessment” and the full “Application to Use Biohazardous Material.” Submit both together to the full IBC. As a reminder, SIUE faculty, staff, and students who plan to engage in research involving the use of biohazardous material and/or recombinant DNA are required to comply with federal guidelines set forth by the NIH and the U.S. DHHS. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Linda Skelton at: [email protected], or ext: 2958.

News: The Council on Government Relations, the Association of American Universities, and other interested groups submitted comments to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service in July “reiterating their opposition to the agency’s adding a question about deemed export control licenses to its Form I-129.” The objection arises as federal control over the export of goods, technology, and research into foreign countries tightens. New regulations by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services also seem to be expanding export control to immigrant researchers applying for visas. The new question for visa petitioners would ask them “to state whether or not they will be required to have a deemed export license.” According to the Report on Research Compliance, the University groups’ objection to the new question “repeats the groups’ contention that the agency still has not said what it plans to do with the [deemed export] information it would collect.”

--source: Report on Research Compliance, August 2010.

Compliance in the News Today’s Keyword: “deemed export”

“deemed export”: providing, transferring or disclosing technology, information, etc. to a foreign national within the United States. Methods of disclosure include: faxes; telephone conversations; e-mail communications; face-to-face discussions; tours of labs; training sessions; computer data.

Illinois Procurement Code Senate Bill 51 – SIUE Purchasing Outlines How this Affects Purchases on Your Grants

Senate Bill 51 was signed into law as Public Act 96-795. How will this change in the Illinois Procurement Code affect external funding at the proposal stage and at the award stage? Grant proposal budgets are formulated based upon the needs of the project and the principal investigator. If a project calls for contractual services, we advise principal investigators/project directors to name the source(s) to be used. Oftentimes the project calls for very specific needs and skills that can only be supplied by certain people or entities. As Nancy Ufert , SIUE Purchasing, has outlined for us in an announcement dated June 24, 2010:

• Payment cannot be made to suppliers for goods or services received before a state-funded contract is reduced to writing unless a waiver is obtained from the State Comptroller.

• Public hearings must be held for all “sole source” purchases (and for extensions of emergency contracts beyond an initial 90 day period). Sole Source is “permitted when there is only one economical source for the good or service.”

http://www.siue.edu/purchasing/procurement.shtml - Sole-Source

• Copies of subcontracts greater than $25,000 must be

filed with the Chief Procurement Officer for Higher Education, and contractor and subcontractor disclosures of financial interests and conflicts of interest much now be filed with the state Procurement Policy Board.

• Any communications between University employees involved in the contracting process and potential suppliers must be reported to the Procurement Policy Board (PPB) and such reports will be posted publicly to the PPB website.

Nancy Ufert’s email predicts, “the indirect effect on university departments will be a more lengthy formal contracting process and the possibility that the Purchasing Department may request additional information regarding specific purchases.” Be aware that these changes will increase the time required to process contractual services related to awarded grant projects. New requirements and processes may develop to aid in meeting the new requirements.

Reminder from Purchasing and ORP: Consider Minority–Owned Businesses in the Purchase of Goods and Services

Illinois state agencies have a goal of purchasing at least 19% of goods and serves from businesses certified by the Illinois Business Enterprise Program (BEP). The BEP aims to promote the economic development of diverse businesses, especially those owned by minorities, women, and persons with disabilities. Businesses can register with the BEP program and be certified as Illinois vendors. Many Illinois state grants or contracts require that the grantee procure goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, and persons of disabilities whenever possible. According to a January e-mail from Nancy Ufert, SIUE Purchasing, and Jo Barnes, SIUE ORP, “some grants require that we report the MBE/WBE vendors used and the dollar amounts spent on goods provided by such vendors. Some agencies are also requiring SIUE to provide a small business subcontracting plan on any proposal submissions.” * Grantees holding state funds are therefore highly encouraged to consider the bids of MBE/WBE vendors when plan-ning the purchase of goods and services. The SIUE Purchasing Department provides a website de-voted to source sites for vendors. In order to help grantees comply with state regulations, Purchasing has communicated that “it is re-quired that any requisitions over $10,000 up to the legal bid

limit that are submitted to purchasing include a minimum of three (3) quotes, one (1) must be from a minority vendor. If depart-ments are unable to locate a receive a quote from a minority ven-dor, this should be including in writing with the submission.” In order to best facilitate the purchase of goods or services for your grant, the e-mail announcement says “it is always prudent to leave time to prepare your bids and research potential vendors. This is even more true as you consider ways to include quotes from diverse businesses and vendors in your bid process.” For more information visit: The SIUE Purchasing Website: http://www.siue.edu/purchasing/staff/vendor_contracts.shtml or The BEP Website: http://www.sell2.illinois.gov/bep/Business_Enterprise.htm
