News
Congratulations to those who received grants in June! Thanks to all of their talents and hard work, as of June 30, 2022, WSU researchers under Academic Affairs have submitted proposals budgeting a total of $95,428,904, received $41,026,107 in awards, and generated $3,560,319 in indirect cost recovery for FY2022.As announced later in this newsletter, Brenda Achey has taken over the role of Associate Director of Post-Award for the Office of Research in Academic Affairs, while Judi McBroom concentrates on her role as a Senior Grant Administrator. Judi provided great leadership and expertise during a time of significant transition, and now looks forward to focusing on the awards management of her specific researchers, and spending more time with her family. In addition to thanking Judi for setting the Associate Director position on a positive path, I also thank Traci Shepherd and Md Gofur for working as a team with Judi to perform the leadership responsibilities for the Post-Award team on an interim basis, before this Associate Director position was finalized in December. The entire post-award team benefits from the expertise and direct oversight of Michelle Locke, Controller of WSU.Starting with today's introduction to Brenda, we will provide a new vignette each month to help you get to know all of those who serve you in the Office of Research, and their specific roles. Good luck to all of you in your research efforts over the next month.
Coleen Pugh, Vice Provost for Research

Purpose: “Specifically, NIDA seeks applications for multi-project RM1 Opioid Use Disorder Quality Measurement and Management Research Centers (OUD-QM2RCs). OUD-QM2RCs will involve researchers and a partner with a deployed or in-development quality measurement strategy for opioid use disorder treatment that rigorous, scientific research could substantially advance. The ultimate goal is the creation of feasible, efficient quality measurement systems that provide meaningful information to help patients, families, and payors fairly compare and select providers and to help clinicians and providers improve patient outcomes. OUD-QM2RCs should 1. identify key aspects of the partner’s strategy that require additional research, 2. conduct the research, and 3. test or prepare to test the resulting system to determine if implementing it improves patient outcomes. Activities should also support the acceptability of the quality measurement and management system to patients, clinicians, and providers; the feasibility, scalability, and sustainability of the system; and equity in clinician/provider selection and treatment delivery.”

National Institutes of Health (NIH) Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Preventive Interventions to Address Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Populations that Experience Health Disparities
“The purpose of this NOSI is to solicit projects on preventive interventions that address cardiometabolic risk factors in populations that experience health disparities. This NOSI focuses specifically on preventive interventions addressing cardiometabolic risk factors across the lifespan in populations that experience health disparities. Efforts to improve these risk factors should be based on research that identifies and addresses relevant determinants of health at individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and societal levels. As part of proposed prevention interventions, investigators should work in collaboration with appropriate community, service system, and/or healthcare partners to develop and evaluate interventions that are relevant, acceptable, and sustainable in community and service settings. Proposed projects must include an intervention that addresses at least one cardiometabolic risk factor, alone or in combination with other types of risk factors (e.g., smoking, occupational risks), in one or more populations that experience health disparities.”

If your international travel falls under one of these above categories, it is required that you submit a travel authorization request through Chrome River and submit a Travel Authorization form to exportcontrols@wichita.edu at least 30 days prior to your planned departure. Last-minute requests cannot be guaranteed for approval. For IDP personnel, please note that you must first receive an approval from the Export Controls & Compliance office prior to your acquiring a loaner laptop from NIAR IT.
Please see the links below for further information and resources, and reach out to the Travel Office at wsutraveloffice@wichita.edu, or James Elliott, Export Control & Compliance Officer, at exportcontrols@wichita.edu with any questions.

- Travel Office Information, Policies, and Chrome River login
What this means for you:
- Protect yourself from criminal and civil liability by declaring all international travel with the Export Control & Compliance Office 30 days before your trip.
- Export Control regulations impact software, email, information, and remote access differently than what most people expect. These processes help ensure we are doing everything the right way and catching relevant instances that may only apply on a case-by-case basis.
- Failure to properly declare travel could mean barring all access while traveling.
