[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 999009, member: 2957"] This what I have been able to find out and it’s consistent with my own experience. First, there is no connection between an athletic conference and a research grant award. Individuals apply based on a researcher’s area of interest and collaboration exists for one of two reasons. One, professional connections at the same or other universities, often because of editorial issues when the concluding paper is published (a big deal) or … a controlling university may subdivide work to other same-state schools, e.g., Tech receives a grant and awards a portion to UNG (keeping the dollars in the state). Athletic conferences MAY have administrative cooperation to help lower costs. So grant offices across the conference standardize templates and processes to make it less burdensome when applying, but they don’t apply as a conference, or even as a school, rather the tools are distributed to individual researchers and organizations. Conferences do get together annually for a “same Dept” meeting (e.g., all IT heads, all b school heads, etc), but there is no joint research being pursued. As one stated, “In the Broad Agency Announcements” there is not one mention of one’s athletic conference affiliation. It’s a talking point for university presidents but at the execution level, not so much. [/QUOTE]
