Reflecting its value of maintaining and enhancing high-quality research and scholarly activity among Tenure track faculty, The Patton College offers this incentive for publishing peer-reviewed, empirical scholarship in “top of the top tier” (T3) journals. Through this program, we desire to produce rigorous and influential research that will raise the national prominence of The Patton College to directly influence our ability to recruit and retain high performing students and faculty. This Incentive is reflective of our mission and specifically aligns with our 2029 Strategic Plan. Additionally, this incentive supports our goals to recruit and retain high performing students and faculty who contribute to the economic and cultural needs of the Ohio University region while also benefiting the state, nation and world by generating new knowledge and educating future citizens and leaders. The success of the PILOT program (August 15, 2015 – July 31, 2018), resulting in 9 different publications in T3 journals, has been extended as an ongoing policy, contingent on available funding.

Purpose and Goals of the Incentive
The goal of the incentive is to engage and support collaborative scholarship with rigorous research design among tenure track faculty, resulting in empirical data analysis in highly visible peer-reviewed publications. Moreover, this incentive’s purpose is to advance the national prominence of PCOE faculty and the College itself, resulting in enhanced support to faculty who desire to expand their visibility as national and international experts. Such visibility increases opportunities for recruiting and retaining top quality students.

Important NOTE: This T3 Incentive is NOT related to tenure; there is no expectation that tenure seeking faculty have their publications in the T3 journals identified through this incentive. Pre-tenure faculty should not seek this Incentive at the expense of establishing a sustained stream of scholarship.

Scope of the Incentive

Time period. The 3-year PILOT project was implemented August 15, 2015 through July 31, 2018. In Fall 2018, Dean Middleton extended the incentive beyond its pilot phase. The incentive remains, contingent on available funding, for all Tenure track faculty (limited to one research incentive summer appointment per year). The peer-reviewed articles fitting the parameters of this Incentive must be published in fully retrievable and citable form with date of publication in its final format falling in the time period associated with the summer appointment. (e.g. publication July 1, 2018 – June 30, 2019 are eligible for summer 2019 funding with the $3,000 stipend appointment of July 1-August 15, 2019).

Financial award. Authors of published articles meeting the parameters for the Incentive will receive remuneration in the form of a summer research stipend of $3,000 for single authors (or one Patton College author among a group of authors) and a total of $6,000 to be equally distributed among multiple authors (from PCOE) in recognition of the achievement. This compensation will be provided in the form of a summer (overload) appointment for the purpose of supporting research endeavors in the summer term following the publication. Collaboration is encouraged. The incentive summer research support compensation is limited to Patton College tenure track faculty. Each Patton College tenure track faculty member may receive only one stipend per year.

Process for Summer Research Appointment
PCOE Tenure track faculty members who author publications meeting the criteria should submit to the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies (1) evidence of the publication and (2) submit information at the link above describing the research work that will occur during the summer appointment. Upon approval, the Associate Dean will authorize the summer appointment, which will be executed for the period July 1 – August 15 during the summer session following the publication date.

Evaluation of the Incentive

• Evaluation of the program will be ongoing.
• There is an expectation that, as part of the evaluation, T3 journal list may be revised.
• Evaluation will include (but not be limited to) (1) analysis of the level of collaborative research occurring in PCOE, (2) analysis of the level of publication (and activity toward publication) in T3 journals among PCOE faculty, (3) analysis of the operationalization of the program and (4) analysis of the financial impact of the program on PCOE.

UPDATED JOURNAL INCLUSION CRITERIA

Summary: Rather than including specific journals like the original T3 process, quantitative metrics are used for journal inclusion. The rationale is that many PCOE faculty might be publishing or attempting to publish in journals that were specifically on the T3 list, but by broadening the journal list, faculty may target more appropriate, high- impact journals within their field. For this reason, the inclusion criteria included following metrics:

Include all journals with Current Year OR 5-Year impact factor greater than or equal to 1.5 at the time of acceptance. The impact factor should be printed from the Journal’s homepage that clearly identifies the impact factor.

TWO OTHER ADDITIONS for JOURNAL INCLUSION

The Journal of Counseling and Development will be included as a T3 journal, even though it does not currently meet the criteria listed above. This is the flagship journal for the Counseling Education program.

Consistent with The Patton College’s 2029 Strategic Plan and commitment to ensuring that we engage in practices that are inclusive of writing for broader audiences in more inclusive ways (Strategic Goal 9, Objective 4), The PCOE Dean’s Office requests the following journals be included to be in light with the 2029 Strategic Plan:

• Journal of Negro Education,
• International Journal for Qualitative Studies in Education,
• Race, Ethnicity, and Education,
• Urban Education

STIPEND ELIGIBILITY

REVISED PROCESS

In addition to fully retrievable citation of the publication meeting the parameters of the incentive, “Online First” and “Advance” publications available on the journal’s homepage (e.g., not preprint repositories like SocArxiv, PsyArxiv) can be considered for the incentive pursuant to the time period and summer appointment mentioned above. The Impact factor will be considered at the time of initial submission OR at time of publication. The author submitting the T3 summer research request must attach all documentation to the submission.

Grant Writing Mentor Program for Federal/State/Large Multi-Year Funding Opportunities

Application Link:

Purpose:
The purpose of this mentoring program is to support faculty interested in pursuing Federal/State and other large multi-year (3+) research and build college capacity for funding opportunities. Due to the competitive nature and difficulty in receiving awards at this level, we believe faculty will benefit from specific support from more experienced individuals during the grant-writing process. This program provides funding to a mentor to engage in work with Patton College faculty. The work agreed to as part of the MOU is intended to help faculty that have written (or been part of a team of writers) and received smaller grant funding – or have written (or been part of a team of writers) for but not yet received larger grant funding – be better prepared to write larger grants and thus have applications that are more competitive and likely to receive positive feedback and, ultimately, funding.

This opportunity differs from the established Patton College Research Mentor Program in that this program targets mid-career faculty and focuses specifically on grant-writing, not general research-related work.

Upon the identification of a relevant funding opportunity with significant lead time to submission, an MOU will be developed that includes, but is not limited to, the following activities:

• Establishing and maintaining a detailed grant writing/review/feedback schedule;
• Scheduling a mid-point and final check-in with the Associate Dean;
• Regularly communicating regarding grant writing progress;
• Identifying and engaging with a grant reviewer (an individual to provide feedback on the grant prior to submission); and
• Submission of a federal/state/large, multi-year grant proposal.

Regarding “large grants,” funding should be for a minimum of $150,000 over multiple years. The Research Grants Development Coordinator has a list of possible grant opportunities available.

Timeframe:
Faculty will engage in discussion with the Associate Dean for Research, Research Grants Development Coordinator, and their Department Chair and present a timeline of events before the MOU is approved.

• Work on initial grant submissions should span at least six months (working backwards from the grant submission deadline, as determined through consultation with the Research Grants Development Coordinator).
• Work on grant revisions should span at least three months (working backwards from the grant submission deadline, as determined through consultation with the Research Grants Development Coordinator).

Eligibility and Parameters:

• All Tenure-Track Faculty and Center Directors are eligible to engage in the Grant Writing Mentor Program
  • Faculty/Center Directors may apply as individuals (PI) or in pairs (Co-PIs)
  • Multiple Patton College faculty (tenure track and instructional), Center Directors, and faculty from across and outside of Ohio University can be part of the grant team, but only 1-2 tenure-track faculty/Center Directors from The Patton College can enter into the MOU
• The Mentor may be internal to the University or from another University/entity
• The Mentor may not be part of the grant team
• The Mentor needs to be approved by the Associate Dean for Research

Amount:
Financial support is provided to the mentor as follows:

Initial grant submissions

• 1 faculty member (PI) working with a Mentor – $1,000
  • $500 paid upon entering into the MOU; $500 paid upon completion of the grant
• 2 faculty members (PI and Co-PI) working with a Mentor – $1,500
  • $750 paid upon entering into the MOU; $750 paid upon completion of the grant

Grant Resubmissions

• 1 faculty member (PI) working with a Mentor – $500
  • $250 paid upon entering into the MOU; $250 paid upon completion of the grant
• 2 faculty members (PI and Co-PI) working with a Mentor – $750
  • $375 paid upon entering into the MOU; $375 paid upon completion of the grant

See PCOE Faculty Grants Page:

How do I access shared drives, manuals, etc.?

You can view a PDF with instructions for this on the “https://www.ohio.edu/education/faculty-resources ” on our website.

Do I need to use Outlook the calendar? How does it sync to my phone?

Ohio University and The Patton College regularly use Outlook calendar to send meeting invitations. It is strongly encouraged that you keep your schedule up to date. The Ohio University Bobcat Depot can assist you in syncing your emails/calendar/memos to your smart phone.

How do I create meetings? How do I see others’ schedules?

To see someone else’s calendar, click "Open Calendar" and find the person or room in the directory whose calendar you wish to view. (NOTE: it will only show boxes of time marked as "Busy”. It will not show you their meeting details unless you have been given permission to do so.)

What is “Clutter” in my email?

The "CLUTTER" folder is for email that the server has determined that, though legitimate, is of little or no 

value to you based on your email reading habits. Think of this as someone sorting out the magazines and newsletters that you only read once in a while or not at all anymore and have not yet unsubscribed from them or just keep getting them anyway even though you are no longer interested in them. If you want to start or would rather see something from the "CLUTTER" folder, simply move it to your "INBOX" and the server will learn that you actually want to see/read this particular type of email more often.

Something to keep in mind is to check both of these folders once in a while in case something you want is misfiled. They do help keep your inbox cleaner, but they are not perfect.

Do I need a P-Card?

Yes, if you plan on doing any traveling or purchasing things for OU business. Only tenure-track and instructional faculty are eligible for a P-card. Special circumstances should be discussed with your department chair.

How do I obtain a P-Card? What if I lose my P-card?

There is an application online that you fill out and submit to your department chair – you can go to the Finance website or seek assistance from Shared Services.

What am I allowed to purchase using a P-Card?

An explanation of all allowable purchases as well as the necessary documentation can be found by clicking on the Buying Guidelines link from the OHIO P-Card Services.

You may not ship anything purchased with any Ohio University funds (including RI, Start-up, Professional Development, Foundation and Grants) to a personal (or home) address. Everything shipped, must be shipped to an Ohio University address.

You may not purchase supplies for personally owned equipment. The Ohio ethical interpretation for this regulation is that there is no way to ensure that everything purchased for such equipment is totally used for Ohio 

University business. For example, copy paper and printer ink in your home can be used for things other than OU business.

You may not purchase gas for your personal vehicle with OU funds. Even though you may be on a business trip at the time, you can reimburse mileage, but you cannot purchase a tank of gas. This does not include rental vehicles. It is only regarding your personal vehicle.

Do I need training to use a P-Card?

Following the obtainment of P-card, people must enter their financial transactions into Concur. Specific training on Concur is available through Human Resources. It is important to note that all faculty, staff, and administrators are responsible for timely submissions of Concur reports.

The PCOE Shared Services Unit will be able to provide direction on signing up for the next Concur training session.

OHIO employees, with the exception of students have access to Concur regardless of whether they have a P- card. This is because personal reimbursements must be processed through Concur.

I need help with Concur.

See PCOE Shared Services for instructions on how to sign up for Concur training.
