A Good Idea in Oregon

An Oregon-wide research initiative is gaining traction, as reported in the Portland Business Journal.

An ambitious education plan that could turn Portland into a research and development powerhouse is likely to cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Cayuse intends to support this effort by making our Web-based software broadly available within Oregon. Our solution offers a competitive advantage to any organization that applies for federal research funds. We want to see that advantage work for us here in our home state. We're in talks with some key players, and expect to have more news about this soon.

PureEdge NOT required

The Dept. of Energy is one of many agencies that offer funding opportunities that can be completed and submitted with Cayuse424. Some of their opportunities are listed on this page along with some not quite entirely accurate information.

In fact:
- Though Grants.gov "utilizes PureEdge software", it also accepts proposals from other tools.
- Grants.gov does NOT require you to download the PureEdge Viewer to submit grant proposals.

You can use, for example, a 100% Web-based, hosted proposal development platform.

We make this point repeatedly with the agencies and prospective customers.

FASEB weighs in on US budget

While acknowledging positives in certain aspects of the President's current budget proposal, FASEB (PDF) also expresses some strong disappointment.

"...we commend President Bush for his championing of competitive research at the USDA. But neglecting NIH at the same time is failing to grasp the interconnectedness of science..."

Underfunding of the NIH, in particular, is generating fairly widespread discontent.

Research programming on the ResearchChannel

The ResearchChannel hosts videos and other resources from research at its consortium members.

ResearchChannel was founded by a consortium of leading research and academic institutions to share the valuable work of their researchers with the public.

It's a multimedia-rich site, offering over 3,500 titles on a wide spectrum of topics. It is laudable for its efforts to make the results of research accessible to a much wider audience.

Cayuse customer University of Wisconsin Madison is a consortium member, and offering programming from their extensive research organization. A couple other Cayuse customers are contributors, including The Ohio State University and the University of Texas at Austin.
