The proposed organization also includes Cornell Information Technologies (CIT) and Weill Cornell Medical College Information Technologies and Services (WCMC-ITS) to further develop and provide this support. 2010-10-07T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/25624 Title: Research Data Management Service Group Survey of NSF Principal Investigators at Cornell University Authors: Steinhart, Gail; Chen, Eric; Arguillas, Florio; Dietrich, Dianne; Kramer, Stefan Abstract: We provide here the survey instrument used in a 2011 survey of NSF PIs at Cornell University, under the auspices of the Research Data Management Service Group (data.research.cornell.edu), and the resulting data. 2011-11-14T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/14225 Title: Small Business Development 2009: Cornell's Research Serves the Region and Beyond Abstract: The tangible benefits of a university's research are extraordinary. When Cornell faculty teach and perform services for the community within their domain of expertise, we immediately understand these benefits. But when Cornell faculty conduct research and that research materializes into a cure for a disease, a better medical procedure, a new green product, or a faster and more compact computer, we connect with the extraordinary potential of academic research. The path of the "what if..." and "I wonder why..." that begins in the laboratory, translated into discoveries and inventions, and then transferred into products by small businesses leads us to a deeper appreciation for how university research brings a multitude of improvements to our daily lives. Even more, by the time the research leaves the laboratory bench—en route to becoming a product—it has also created an optimal learning experience for many undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students and some community members along its path. These are frequently the people, sometimes along with faculty, who bring the innovations to market in the form of a small company that, in turn, hires employees—some from Cornell's research labs after completing their degrees and some from the community and beyond. This process—technology transfer—completes the research connection. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/14224 Title: Cornell University Research Expenditures: July 1, 2007 - June 30, 2008 Abstract: This is the Annual Report of Research Expenditures for Cornell University for the fiscal year of July 1, 2007 - June 30, 2008. 2008-06-30T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/14223 Title: Cornell University Research Expenditures: July 1, 2006 - June 30, 2007 Abstract: This is the Annual Report of Research Expenditures for Cornell University for the fiscal year of July 1, 2006 - June 30, 2007. 2007-06-30T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/14222 Title: Connecting with Cornell volume 22, issue 1-2 (2009) Abstract: In this Issue: Research in Progress - 11 of Cornell' s young faculty talk with the editor about their research, exploring a broad range of topics and explaining how they got hooked on their fields; "Any Person ... Any Study" and the Lure of Research - Cornell provides many opportunities for undergraduate students to experience a variety of fields and perspectives, truly fulfilling Ezra Cornell’s famous goal of "any person ... any study"; Undergraduate Researchers Pick Applied and Engineering Physics - Kenneth Ferguson '11 and Nitin Malik '11 are two undergraduate researchers in the Department of Applied and Engineering Physics doing interesting work in the laboratories on campus; Why Cornell? - 11 young Cornell faculty reveal why they chose Cornell and would recommend it to other young innovators in their fields; Amplifying Science - Over the past decade, the Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR) has brought Cornell scientists and K-12 teachers together to improve science education; Salt Matters - SaltCheck Inc., an Allied Minds company that is based on Cornell research, is working to develop and commercialize an on-the-spot test to monitor salt excretion that closely mirrors salt intake for hypertension patients; Power in the Peel - When nearly 1,000 U.S. Olympic athletes and coaches settled in for the long flight to Beijing to compete in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, each of them was provided with a supply of a new type of "functional food" called AppleBoost(TM) energy snack tubes; The Essence of Cornell - When we talk about Cornell, we can describe the institution in many ways. Cornell has a beautiful campus; it is diverse; it is Ivy League; it is an American university with a global scope; it is cutting-edge. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/14221 Title: Connecting with Cornell volume 21, issue 1 (2008) Abstract: One of Cornell’s greatest assets is its ability to foster an interdisciplinary research culture. That culture is seen at work in this issue of Connecting with Cornell as it spans the 230 miles between the Cornell-Ithaca and Weill Cornell Medical College campuses. What makes this issue special is that we see not only how Cornell faculty bridge the distance between the two campuses but also how the university nurtures collaborations and exciting new results unfold. Cutting-edge research and innovative approaches to teaching undergraduate and graduate students evolve as Cornell broadens its interdisciplinary culture. Surgeons and engineers look for solutions to problems such as wound healing and tissue engineering. Social scientists and physicians search for ways to help alleviate some of the problems in global health. Life scientists and physicians study some of the world’s most vexing diseases. Physicians and social scientists work on problems associated with aging. Engineers and radiologists concentrate on CT imaging as preventive measures for diseases. Cornell-Ithaca and Weill Cornell Medical College faculty develop new courses and research experiences for students on both campuses. As the Cornell faculty seek solutions to problems in human health, a new array of collaborations opens up new directions in research, teaching, and outreach for the benefit of human health. 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/14220 Title: Connecting with Cornell volume 20, issue 1 (Spring/Summer 2007) Abstract: In this issue of Connecting with Cornell, researchers reveal much about things that fly. Faculty researchers tell us fascinating stories of their discoveries about how bats walk, how songbirds learn their songs, how dragonflies fly, the beauty of butterflies, the avian flu virus, and the benefits of using a certain species of wasp as a biological pest control. Student researchers tell us about their studies on the mating habits of butterflies and on mosquitoes as vectors of dengue fever and West Nile virus. They share how these research experiences broadened their academic experiences and helped with career decisions. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology reaches out to the international community with many engaging activities and scientific resources. The Weill Cornell Medical College spins off a successful company that studies and applies metabolomics to better diagnostics and disease treatment. We also learn how Cornell is at the forefront of caring for animals in its research and teaching programs on the Ithaca campus. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z
