Vice Chair - Laura Jolly (elected 2001)



Secretary - Sharron Lennon (elected 2002)



Secretary-Elect - Mary Lynn Damhorst (elected 2003)





4. Reports



Project Update - Holly updated the group on objectives that NCR-65 has made; we still need to meet objectives 3 and 4. Objective 1 was met through the workshop on acquiring federal funding in Kansas City in 2001. Objective 2 was met through the foundation funding workshop in 2002. Objectives 5 and 6 are currently be addressed (data collection is ongoing). To address Objective 3, we might be able to focus on a USDA Challenge GrantBto get 1890s faculty involved in NCR-65 type committees and/or to get funding for some one on one collaboration of 1890s, Hispanic serving, or tribal schools= faculty with someone like David Morrison. Invite people from these three types of schools to apply for a Ascholarship@ to participate and submit proposals. Gladys suggested partnering with one of the human sciences honoraries. Perhaps have a workshop at ITAA to think about generating research partnerships for a one on one with David Morrison.



Grantsmanship Updates



Brenda Sternquist gave an update on the returned surveys from workshop participants. Participants are very time stretched and seem to be pushed into attracting outside funding when they aren=t really well-established (before a developing research stream, or publishing journal articles).



Planning for Next Year to address Objective 3



Discussion followed regarding how to proceed to address Objective 3. One suggestion is to invite participation in NCR-65 from faculty at 1890s, 1994s, and Hispanic serving schools. So need a list of faculty at those schools and what their areas of interest are. Consider U of Hawaii and universities in Puerto Rico. Also go to the Experiment Station Directors to indicate that we want to expand the NCR-65 group, so that we can work on both ends. Need to develop two letters, one to Experiment Station Directors (Marilyn will write), and one to faculty (Karen LaBat will write). Give some information in the letters regarding the issues this group is addressing. Also consider repeating the Morrison Workshop in Portland or to set up to have in Kansas City (Jana volunteered to help logistically and will contact Marsha for contact information). Perhaps develop a handout for ITAA for tomorrow inviting participation in a David Morrison workshop (Laura and Brenda will develop). Kappa Omicron Nu may have monies that may help for co-sponsoring the Morrison workshop (Laura will call Dorothy Mitstifer to see what the possibilities are). If new folks come to NCR-65 next year, perhaps we can develop some of the one on one relationships necessary for grantwriting.



Planning for New Project Proposal





Needs to be ready to go by the November meeting of 2005, to be submitted for approval by January 2006. So next year 2004 we need a draft of a proposal ready for approval. Hopefully, this would include some of these new people and we could move forward on getting a USDA Challenge grant to develop a course on Grantwriting for the Great Plains Consortium (online course).

Accomplishments

Provided an opportunity for scholars to develop grantsmanship skills to secure Federal funding.<br /> <br><br /> <br>Helped workshop attendees develop skills necessary to attract private/industry support and initiate partnerships.<br /> <br><br /> <br>Collected data to model processes of research program development through conducting a pre-test and post-test assessment of the workshops.<br /> <br><br /> <br>Examined the state of external funding received by workshop participants to assess outcomes of NCR-65 workshops.<br /> <br><br /> <br><b>Impact:</b><br /> <br><br /> <br>Overall, the work of NCR-65 has resulted in over a million dollars in major competitive grants from a variety of sources such as the National Science Foundation, the Ford Foundation, USDA Challenge Grant program, and the US Department of Education. These projects address issues such as the formation of a human dimensioning laboratory to aid in development of products such as airline seats, prosthetics, sports equipment, and apparel body sizing; improving the viability of small business enterprises in developing countries; developing web-based instructional modules for teaching consumer services management; developing buyer-supplier relationships through International retailing.<br /> <br><br /> <br>A seed grant from NCR-65 spawned the formation of a research consortium, Educators for Socially Responsible Apparel Business (ESRAB). This consortium has linked over 30 researchers to focus on research and educational programming to address critical issues related to social responsibility in apparel businesses. This group sponsored workshops at international meetings to foster collaboration. A survey to identify member expertise related to industry needs was conducted. Research projects have been implemented and based on this research, a focused issue of a peer-reviewed international research journal is forthcoming. <br /> <br><br /> <br>Sponsorship of a Federal Grantsmanship workshop involved 21 faculty from 13 states. The workshop focused on successful strategies for developing competitive Federal grant proposals. <br /> <br><br /> <br>Sponsorship of a Foundation Center workshop involved 13 faculty from eight states. The workshop focused on successful strategies for seeking competitive funds from foundations. <br /> <br><br /> <br>Realizing the need for focused research effort, a regional research project NC-222, Impact of Technology on Rural consumers Access to Food and Fiber Products, was launched and continues a productive research agenda. Eleven states participate in this project. Another proposal is forthcoming based on the research interaction from this NC group.<br /> <br><br /> <br><b>Future Objectives/Impact:</b><br /> <br><br /> <br>Grant implementation and management<br /> <br><br /> <br>Increasing the diversity of the group to include a wider range of subject matter expertise and under-represented groups.<br /> <br><br /> <br>Develop a proposal in partnership with colleagues from 1890s, 1994s, and Hispanic-serving institutions to support their faculty members participation in the program.

Brief Summary of Minutes

Accomplishments

The NCCC-65 project Social Change in the Marketplace: Producers, Retailers, Consumers was created to increase the overall quality, quantity and competitiveness of research related to social change in the marketplace by initiating systematic efforts to strengthen the research infrastructure for scientists in this area of inquiry. <br /> <br /> With respect to Objective 2 of the NCCC-65 proposal (Help Workshop attendees develop skills necessary to attract private/industry support and initiate partnerships) a special topic session,Program Enhancement via Business and Industry Partnerships,was presented at the Triennial meeting of the Academy of Marketing Science and the American Collegiate Retailing Association. The panel was attended by approximately thirty marketing and retailing faculty members from across the US. The intended outcome is to increase the overall quality, quantity and competitiveness of research related to social change in the marketplace and to enhance scholars' ability to successfully acquire funding for research support. The potential impact is that 30 workshop participants will develop partnerships with business/industry.<br /> <br /> Educators for Socially Responsible Apparel Businesses (ESRAB) a group initiated and partially funded by NCCC-65 sponsored two special topic workshops at the International Textile and Apparel Association annual meeting, Environmental Textiles and Teaching Adventures in Social Responsibility. ESRAB linked more than thirty researchers to focus on issues of social responsibility in the marketplace. The intended outcome is to increase knowledge and awareness of research opportunities among scholars who focus on social change in the marketplace. The potential impact is that NCCC65 members will develop ideas for collaborative research and research funding partnerships.<br /> <br /> Plans for the year include identifying projects for collaborating with representatives from 1862 institutions, 1890 institutions and Hispanic serving institutions and contacting human science organizations to partner on NCCC-65 initiatives. Faculty at 1890, 1994, and Hispanic serving institutions will be identified and invited to participate in NCCC-65. A survey to gauge interest in additional grantsmanship workshops will be conducted at the AMS/ACRA and ITAA conferences. Contacts will be made with Kappa Omicron Nu regarding potential funding of NCCC-65 diversity efforts. A renewal proposal will be drafted in 2004 for approval at the November 2005 annual meeting.<br />

Brief Summary of Minutes

We decided to collect publications, theses, dissertations, grants, and presentations that arose from the work of members of NCR-65 (from 10/01/01 through 9/30/06) in preparation for documenting our impact. Next year's meeting will be in Washington, D.C. in conjunction with the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) meeting. As a result, a pre-conference has been scheduled entitled: "USDA Funding Opportunities for Apparel & Merchandising Scholars." Research directors from USDA will discuss opportunities for research funding pertinent to many ITAA members working in markets and trade, rural small business, and body image areas. The workshop will be coordinated by NCCC65 members (Mary Lynn Damhorst, Iowa State University; Sharron Lennon, Ohio State University; and Laura Jolly, University of Tennessee). For our next major project, we identified a continuing critical regional issue: to increase knowledge and awareness of research and external funding opportunities among scholars who focus on social change in the marketplace. For the meeting in November 2005, we decided on an assignment for each member (or several can work together) will bring a viable and critical idea to share and that has potential for research partnering.

Accomplishments

The NCCC-65 project Social Change in the Marketplace: Producers, Retailers, Consumers was created to increase the overall quality, quantity and competitiveness of research related to social change in the marketplace by initiating systematic efforts to strengthen the research infrastructure for scientists in this area of inquiry. <br /> <br /> With respect to Objective 1 of the NCCC065 proposal (Provide an opportunity for scholars to develop grantsmanship skills to secure federal funding) and Objective 4 (Provide information on the development and management of a research program based on external funding), we will hold a pre-conference entitled: "USDA Funding Opportunities for Apparel & Merchandising Scholars" in conjunction with the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) in November 2005. The intended outcome to increase the overall quality, quantity and competitiveness of research related to social change in the marketplace and to enhance scholars' ability to successfully acquire funding for research support. A potential impact is that 50 workshop participants will develop and submit USDA funding proposals. A second potential impact is an increase in the number of scientists working in this field on Federal project reviews and review panels. <br /> <br /> With respect to Objective 2 (Help workshop attendees develop skills necessary to attract private/industry support and initiate partnerships) and Objective 3 (Develop a proposal in partnership with colleagues from 1890 institutions to support their faculty members' participation in the program) of the NCCC-65 proposal, we will bring a viable and critical idea to the 2005 meeting to share that has potential for research partnering. The intended outcome is to increase knowledge and awareness of research and external funding opportunities among scholars who focus on social change in the marketplace. The potential impact is that 10 NCCC-65 members will develop ideas for research and for research funding partnerships.<br /> <br /> With respect to Objective 3, (Develop a proposal in partnership with colleagues from 1890s institutions to support their faculty members' participation in the program) we developed plans for identifying projects for collaborating with representatives from 1862 institutions, 1890 institutions and Hispanic serving institutions and contacting human science organizations to partner on NCCC-65 initiatives. Faculty at 1890, 1994, and Hispanic serving institutions were identified and invited to participate in discussions at the ITAA annual meeting in Portland, OR regarding NCCC-65. In addition, Marilyn DeLong contacted the 1890 schools to encourage participation and met with the 1890s group at NASULGC to generate interest. Karen LaBat created a one-page summary statement outlining NCCC-65 initiatives to use as a communication tool for communicating with potential members. The intended outcome is to increase funding and research productivity in collaboration with ethnic minority researchers. The potential impact is that NCCC65 members and ethnic minority researchers will develop and conduct funded research and collaborative projects. <br /> <br /> Educators for Socially Responsible Apparel Businesses (ESRAB) a group initiated and partially funded by NCCC-65 sponsored two special topic workshops at the International Textile and Apparel Association annual meeting, Environmental Textiles and Teaching Adventures in Social Responsibility. ESRAB linked more than thirty researchers to focus on issues of social responsibility in the marketplace. In addition, ESRAB has created a website for communication and will included abstracts and papers, instructional materials, and other items as deemed appropriate by the membership. A white paper "Preparing Students as Agents of Change" is in the final stages. The intended outcome is to increase knowledge and awareness of research opportunities among scholars who focus on social change in the marketplace.
