Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

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.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. The potential impact is that NCCC65 members will develop ideas for collaborative research and research funding partnerships.
