Research applications have best chances now
By DIRK MILLER Staff Reporter
Despite reductions in grants from federal agencies, chances for new grant applications are better this year than other, a KU official said yesterday.
Chances for grants improve when the federal fiscal year ends on September 30 and federal agencies try to clear their research budgets, Carolynn Vickers, vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, said.
Donald Robertson, professor of microbiology, and a reviewer for the National Institute of Health, agreed. He said he could tell that the NIH had been funding renewal grants early in the year and new grant applications toward the end of the fiscal year.
RENEWAL GRANTS are grants that previously have been funded by the agency and are being continued for another year. . .
"They won't admit it, though." Robertson said of the NIH's funding procedure's emphasis on renewal grants.
Hallenbeck said the government did not like to talk about the practice of saving research money until the end of the fiscal year.
The tight economy has forced federal agencies to wait until most of the budgetary year was over (10 years) and are relying on their research money, she said.
Charles Rutledge, professor of pharmacy, pharmacology and toxicology and a reviewer for the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, Mental Health Act have said there had not been enough money this year to fund all the grants.
Hallenbeck refused to estimate how much research money was still unawarded this year.
Hallenbeck said she had traveled to Washington last year on Sept. 30 to sign a $1.5 million research contract for the University.
She said that in 1982 approximately $20 million in research funds had passed through her office. She estimated approximately $25 million would be funded for research for 1983.
THE RESEARCH OFFICE estimates each year in May how much it will receive in the next fiscal year, Hallenbeck said. That figure goes to the business affairs office, which receives the amount in its budget requests.
The amount of research funding estimated for the 1984 fiscal year Legislative budget request is listed at $27,948,976.
Rutledge said there were two levels in the review process: a review at the scientific level and a monetary or budgetary review.
"The way research is being funded this year it's really unclear just how proposals are being considered at the budgetary level," he
A SCIENTIFIC REVIEW committee would rate proposals on a scale ranging from the best rating, 100, to the worst, 500, be said.
"These proposals would usually have been granted." he said.
Rutledge he worked on a committee in February that was receiving resubmissions for high school proposals which had not been granted.
In the past, the cutoff point has been around 160 for a high-priority rating, he said, but now it seems to be about 140.

THE 8 PERCENT figure equals 73,400 people out of work in August, an increase of 4,600 people over July's total.
An aide to Gov. John Carlin yesterday attributed the recent rise in Kansas' unemployment rate to the national recession, but an assistant to Republican gubernatorial candidate Pat McCarthy said the blame on Carlin's economic policies.
Unemployment in Kansas climbed from 5.6 percent in July to 6 percent in August, the Department of Human Resources announced earlier this week. That is the highest unemployment rate in the state since June 1971, when 6.7 percent of Kansans were jobless.

But Darrell Day, Hardage's press secretary, challenged Swenson's claim that a governor's ability to restore government during a national recession is limited.
"It IS CERTAINLY impossible for the governor of a state to have a 100 percent effect on a national recession," he said. "But national unemployment is still about 10 percent, so we are well below the national average in Kansas."
"On Tuesday, when Delaware Gov. Pete (Pierre) duPont was campaigning for Sam, he said that his state was in a bad spot and despite the recession," Dy said.
"Sam has talked of attracting the high technology industries that are expanding, such as the robotics industry and biological research," Day said. "Carlin has done nothing to attract them."

A MAJOR COMPONENT of Hardage's economic development program, which he will outline in detail tomorrow, is the growing industries located in Kansas, Day said.
But Swenson said Carlin had helped mold a healthy business climate, which he said had helped soften the burden of the recession in Kansas.
"When the governor took office, a study by a Chicago firm on the business
"I really don't think it will have that much of an impact because people understand that Kansas is not in a vacuum," Swenson said. "The governor is very concerned about unemployment and the national national recession and things are going to have to be done at the national level."

BOAN WAS a psychiatric patient at the Med Center in 1977. He served three years in the Kansas State Penitentiary for entering his psychiatrist's office at the Med Center with a loaded gun and demanding to see confidential records.
If Boan is found sane and guilty, the maximum sentence he could receive was life in prison.
If Boan is found not guilty by reason of insanity, he will be committed to Laredo State Hospital. His condition will be reviewed every six months and the psychiatrist will be hospital until psychiatrists determine he is gone. Vader said yesterday.
