The Office of Research Development (ORD) has been established at CSUSB with funds made available by the Extramural Associates Research Development Award (EARDA) through the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The goal of ORD is to enhance faculty and student research at CSUSB, particularly in health-related, biomedical and behavioral research.
We work closely with the Research and Sponsored Programs Office (RSPO) to identify and disseminate information about external health-related funding opportunities matching the research interests of faculty. To help faculty develop new lines of research, ORD also provides funding for pilot projects which encourage and prepare faculty for submission of an externally funded research grant application.
If you would like help finding a research opportunity that matches your health-related research interests, we would love to help! Please fill out a Faculty Research Profile and we will email you a list of available opportunities.
We always welcome your questions, so please do not hesitate to contact us!

How to Pitch a Grant Proposal
Facilitator: Ellen Shimakawa, Associate Director, Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
Why do federal agencies fund research? How do agencies decide which will fund what work? How do I find the right home for my research interests, and how can I make my project the best possible fit with an agency's Mission and priorities? As with most things, life is in the details, and it is important to understand "what's in it for them," when it comes to research funding from a federal or other agency. This workshop will focus on strategies for identifying the best agencies and programs that could support your research, to further your professional research agenda and maximize the likelihood of support.
- October 20 (Tues), 10:30am-12:00pm, PL-15 OR
October 21 (Wed), 10:00-11:30am, PL-15
A Short Introduction to How to Make Things Work: Furloughs and Grants
Panel: Jeff Thompson (Office of Academic Research), Laurel Lillienthal (Academic Personnel), Charles "Stan" Stanley (Foundation) and Ellen Shimakawa (Sponsored Programs), Panel Chair
The state budget crisis has caused a lot of confusion about policies and procedures that get between faculty and their research and consulting objectives. Are grant-funded faculty protected from furloughs? How much released time can you take? How much does it cost? What is overload time and what does it pay? How does the academic calendar influence your "appointment-unrelated" activities-and just what does that mean? Will the source of the funding influence their use and how much you can charge on a contract? How much can you pay students? When are you consultant and when are you an employee? The answers to all these questions and more will be revealed at this session.
- October 27 (Tues), 10:30am-12:00pm, PL-15 OR
October 28 (Wed), 10:00-11:30am, PL-15
Program Evaluation and Assessment: Purpose and Role in the Well-Designed Proposal
Facilitator: Rachel Weiss, Assistant Director, Office of Research & Sponsored Programs
With heightened accountability pressure among federal and private funders, designing and implementing solid program evaluation is a critical step toward winning grants and documenting program achievements for continued support. This workshop will provide participants with a practical introduction to theory-driven program evaluation. The goal of the workshop is to build an understanding of how to develop a sound evaluation plan, and how doing so can inform socio-scientific program design. It will cover the purposes of some of the more common types of evaluation, such as needs assessment, formative and summative evaluation, and discuss a variety of common applied research methods and designs.
- November 3 (Tues), 10:30am-12:00pm, PL-15 OR
November 4 (Wed), 10:00-11:30am, PL-15
Web-Based Grants: Finding Funding and Submitting Proposals in the Cyber World
Facilitators: Sid Kushner, Director, and Cathleen Lucas, Electronic Grants Submission Specialist, Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
This workshop will show you how to get the most effective mileage out of the powerful subscription databases and grant submission systems available for your activities as a researcher, student research mentor, or support program developer at CSUSB. The sessions will cover the principal grant information databases used at CSUSB with particular emphasis on SPIN, COS, and Grants.gov. The major grant submission and project management websites will be reviewed: Grants.gov; NSF's FASTLANE; NASA's NSPIRES; NIH COMMONS and CRISP; DoA CRIS, and other sites.
- November 17 (Tues), 10:30-11:30am, PL-15 OR
November 18 (Wed), 10:00-11:00am, PL-15
Human Subjects Research Tutorials and the IRB Approval Process
Facilitator: Michael Gillespie, MA, Administrative Analyst for Academic Research, IRB Coordinator
All universities are now required to train faculty, staff, and students involved in such research, in the protection of human subjects. The CSUSB IRB will not accept or review proposals from faculty or students who cannot document their training through CITI. The Collaborative IRB Training Initiative or (CITI) is designed as a web based training program in human research subjects' protections. (CITI) web-based training also offers "Refresher Courses" and module-completion tracking for our institution to maintain an ongoing web-based alternative for re-certification purposes. This short, hands-on workshop is particularly recommended for faculty teaching research methods courses, for all faculty planning to engage in human subjects research, and for their students and student research assistants. It will get you started and accelerate completion of the certification.
