THE PARTNERSHIP AWARDS 1994 Nominations have been requested for the 1994 Partnership Awards. The closing date for nominations is Wednesday, 22 December 1993. The Partnership Awards are a system of annual prizes, first offered during 1989, for successful innovation in teaching and learning in higher education. The prizes are for the successful delivery of innovation, not for research into higher education. Invention or total originality is not a requirement. Each prize is the result of discussion with members of a major company, partnership, or industrial body, which has agreed to sponsor the prize and is also responsible for finding the assessors for the prize. Twenty-seven prizes, each of œ5,000, for successful innovation in the methods, content, and structure used in UK degree courses, are available and cover the following fields: General Information Technology Skills Industrial Challenge Communication Skills Business Management Education European Language Skills in Vocational Degrees Open Learning Widening Access into Higher Education Design Creativity in Engineering Design for the Built Environment Engineering Applying Technology to the Education of Engineers Manufacturing Systems Engineering Transferable Skills in Engineering The Flow of Talent into Engineering Geography Geography Languages European Language Skills in Vocational Degrees European Language Degrees Eastern Europe Studies Law Legal Education Libraries Libraries and Resource-Based Learning Medicine/Nursing Nurse Education Undergraduate Medical Education Science---Pure/Applied Technology for Learning in Science Metallurgy and Materials Science Physics Polymer Science Biology for Pharmacology and Medicine Environmental Sciences and Management Teacher Training Biotechnology and Teacher Training Music in Schools and the Training of Teachers Nominations for prizes must be made in the required form, using either Mode A or Mode B. Mode A entails the nomination of a person or small team for innovative work covered by the specification; in this case the prize will be shared between the individuals with no assumption as to how it will be used. Mode B is for the nomination of an innovation or special development which meets the specification; in this case the head of the unit responsible will be asked to name a fund or account which can be used to take the innovation forward. Further information and nomination papers are available from Dr Michael Carr, Head of Staff Development and Training, University Offices (telephone: (2)70086).

SEMINARS FOR ACADEMIC STAFF Michaelmas Term 1993 Seminars organised by the Academic Staff Development Committee The Academic Staff Development Committee organises seminars which are open to all members of academic staff. Graduate students with teaching responsibilities may attend sessions concerned with teaching and learning. To obtain further information or to reserve a place, please contact the ASDC secretary, Dr Sue Gill, at the Staff Development and Training Office, University Offices, Wellington Square (telephone: (2)70245, e-mail: traindpt). Induction Session---Monday, 4 October, 9.30 a.m.--2 p.m. (Week 0). The session begins with a general introduction to the workings of the University. There are brief talks on topics listed below followed by discussions and the opportunity to meet colleagues in an informal setting: ---the relationship between the University and colleges; ---undergraduate admissions; ---graduate admissions; ---the University Counselling Service; ---the organisation of teaching within colleges. The Vice-Chancellor-elect will deliver a brief talk after lunch to conclude the session. Leading a Research Team---Thursday, 9 December, 9 a.m.--5 p.m. (Week 9). This one-day intensive seminar is intended for those academic staff who are both leading a team of at least three members and handling a large research budget, but others are welcomed provided that places are available. Participants will have the opportunity to review their approach to leading their staff through a greater understanding of their leadership actions, their personal leadership style and the actions required to obtain higher performance from their staff. Topics addressed will include: action-centred leadership, leadership styles, achieving results through people, team dynamics, communication, interviewing, self-management. Leadership styles and action-centred leadership will be analysed to create an understanding of the difference between leadership and management, the importance and use of leadership in the work- place, and the need to achieve results through people. This will involve considering the factors that gain greater commitment of people to their work, and the need to produce an environment in which self-motivation prevails. The characteristics of teams, team dynamics, and the importance of face-to-face communication will be used to understand the responsibility of group leaders to inform and consult their research group. The general principles of interviewing: approach, preparation, structure, questioning techniques, listening, will be developed both for success in recruiting to a team and to raise confidence in handling difficult situations with team members. This session will be repeated in Trinity Term 1994. Time Management---Thursday, 4 November, 2--5.30 p.m. (Week 4). This session is intended to help academic staff to achieve a balance between teaching duties, creative research, and more routine administrative tasks and explores the practical application of forgotten or overlooked well-tried techniques. Participants should not expect an instant answer to all the difficulties of time management! Particular areas which will be included in the session are: delegation, not abdication; communications, meetings; dealing with insufficient information; interruptions and the telephone. These topics are introduced by means of short presentations, questionnaires, group discussions and analysis of problems. It may also be possible, depending on the interests of those present, to explore slightly wider issues such as setting longer-term career plans, or tips for rapid reading through bulky documents. This session will be repeated in Hilary and Trinity Terms 1994. Research Grant Applications (Physical Sciences/Engineering) (to be arranged). This session will provide advice on how to make a successful application for a research grant, and will include presentations by staff from the University Research Services Office and also from an external funding body. (It is hoped that a representative from the SERC will be present.) Organised jointly with the University Research Services Office. A similar session for other disciplines will be held in Hilary, Trinity Terms 1994. The Structure of the University (to be arranged). This session is intended to provide information about the decision-making processes within the University. An explanation will be given of the respective roles of Congregation, Hebdomadal Council, the General Board, and a number of other key committees. The links between colleges and the University will be explored, and funding mechanisms and financial procedures will be described. After brief talks there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion. Dealing with the Media I---Wednesday, 29 September, 9.30 a.m.--1 p.m. (Week -1). This session is intended for academic staff who have limited experience of dealing with the media. Please note that participants would be expected to attend either Dealing with the Media I or Dealing with the Media II, but not both. Many academics find themselves in the position of having to speak to representatives of the press, radio, and television about their work, or to provide expert commentary to the media on events of current interest. This session is presented by the University Press Office with the help of a professional journalist. It will introduce some simple rules that will enable you to give press interviews with confidence and authority, and without fear of misrepresentation-- - most of the time. Participants will be audiotaped whilst being interviewed by a professional journalist who will provide constructive advice and feedback on the interview process. This session will be repeated in Trinity Term 1994. Dealing with the Media II---Thursday, 30 September, 9.30 a.m.--1 p.m. (Week -1). This session is intended for academic staff who already have a reasonable amount of experience in dealing with the media. Please note that participants would be expected to attend either Dealing with the Media I or Dealing with the Media II, but not both. Participants will be videotaped whilst being interviewed by a professional journalist who will provide constructive advice and feedback on the interview process. The number of participants at the session will be strictly limited to ensure that there is adequate time for comment on each interview. This session will be repeated in Trinity Term 1994. Tutorial Teaching: An Introduction---Wednesday. 13 October, 9.30 a.m.--1 p.m. (Week 1). This seminar is designed for academic staff who are new to the Oxford tutorial system and provides an opportunity to consider a variety of ways in which tutorials can be made effective vehicles for teaching and learning. Presentational Skills---Tuesday, 5 October, 9.30 a.m.--1 p.m., repeated same day, 2--5.30 p.m., and on Wednesday, 6 October, 2--5.30 p.m. (in Week 0). This session, repeated three times this term, is intended specifically for recent appointees, but other members of staff are welcomed provided that places are available. Participants are asked to deliver approximately ten minutes of a presentation, which should as far as possible be part of a lecture, seminar, or other form of teaching, rather than a research presentation. It is hoped that presenters will not feel obliged to prepare a talk specifically for this session, but are asked to bear in mind the mixed audience, which will include other new appointees, an external adviser, faculty board representatives, undergraduates and members of the Academic Staff Development Committee. Members of the audience will be asked to write down their comments on each individual presentation, and these will be seen only by the presenter in question. General comments are made in a discussion following each presentation. Each presenter will be given the videotape of his or her presentation to take away from the session. Please note that the sessions will be held in a seminar room rather than in a lecture theatre. Further sessions will be held in Hilary and Trinity Terms 1994. Use of Computers for Teaching (to be arranged). Following the seminar on the Use of Computers for Teaching (Arts) in Hilary Term 1993, a further series of subject-specific sessions has been arranged with the appropriate national specialist centres of the Computers in Teaching Initiative. The sessions will be held during Michaelmas and Hilary Terms. Individual seminars will be tailored to the precise needs of each subject, and are likely to take the form of an introductory talk and discussion, a demonstration of the resources available, and finally an opportunity for `hands on' experience. It is hoped that the following range of subjects will be included: Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Geography, History with Archaeology and Art History, Mathematics and Statistics, Medicine, Sociology, and Policy Sciences. Details of individual seminars will be available on request. Organised jointly with the CTI Centres involved. A scheme is being established to meet the cost of visits by members of academic staff to other institutions which hold relevant IT courseware, the individual concerned being expected subsequently to report back to his/her faculty. Details may be obtained from Ms Jenny Nix, University Offices, Wellington Square (telephone: (2)70144, e-mail: acdivjan on the Vax). Seminars Planned for Hilary Term Small Group Teaching. This session will provide an opportunity to explore a variety of approaches to teaching in small groups (4-- 12 students).

G R A N T S A N D R E S E A R C H F U N D I N G ----------------------------------------------------- RESEARCH SERVICES Oxford University Research Services, previously known as the Research Support and Industrial Liaison Office, is based in the University Offices, Wellington Square, and is part of the central university administration. The office responsible for Research Services processes and approves all applications to outside bodies for research grants and contracts. It also acts in an advisory capacity for those seeking outside funding or requiring information about specific initiatives (e.g. LINK, Teaching Company, EC research programmes, etc.). Contracts with industry are negotiated through the Research Services office which also deals, inter alia, with various intellectual property matters, research-related work covered by purchase orders, consultancy agreements, agreements covering clinical trials and services, and liaison with funding bodies over discretionary pay awards. The Director of Research Services is Ms June Clark (telephone: (2)70142, e-mail: resiljc). She is assisted by: Ms Catherine Quinn ((2)70158), Assistant to the Director; Dr Anne Knowland ((2)70201, e-mail: resilamk), Research Grants and Contracts Administrator; Mrs Charlotte Beatson ((2)70043, e-mail: resilchb), Industrial and European Liaison Officer (whose assistant is Dawn Fell, ((2)70145); Mr Pierre-Manuel Espinasse ((2)70011), Administrative Officer. Enquiries concerning day-to-day processing of research applications should be addressed to Room 330, Research Services (telephone: (2)70247). OTHER GRANTS Grants administered by the General Board's Standing Committee for Research and Equipment 1 Non-Recurrent Equipment Grants The Research and Equipment Committee is responsible for administering the annual equipment grant received from the HEFCE. The major part of the equipment element of the grant is allocated to departments on a recurrent basis, so that there should be only a minimum of calls for non-recurrent grants. The remaining 20 per cent of the annual equipment grant is allocated on a competitive basis in the form of non-recurrent equipment grants. Priority for non-recurrent grants is given to those bodies which do not have a full recurrent equipment grant. In the case of such bodies, while preference is extended to applications for equipment of wide use, items for the sole use of an individual are considered on their merits in terms of the benefit accruing to the individual's teaching and research. Applications from non-departmentally organised subjects should be submitted via the faculty board chairman concerned. From 1993--4 the committee has made recurrent allocations to arts faculty boards to allow individual boards to determine their priorities for funding. Applications for computers and other IT equipment will be assessed by the faculty boards in consultation with the IT Committee, which has a responsibility to keep under review the IT strategies of faculties, departments, and other units. Bids from individuals should continue to be submitted to the Secretary of the Research and Equipment Committee, who will arrange for their assessment by the relevant body. In the case of departments which do have a recurrent equipment grant, non-recurrent grants are normally given for items of equipment the cost of which is substantial in relation to the department's recurrent allocation. Subject to this condition, some priority is given to applications seeking a contribution to the cost of a major piece of basic equipment which will be of wide use but which by its nature is unlikely to be provided by a research council or other outside body. Similar priority is given to applications for major pieces of equipment for research projects where such contributions perform a pump-priming role in obtaining funding from outside bodies. In both cases the committee normally expects a package deal to be proposed in which the department makes a significant contribution to the cost. Applications should be submitted by the head of department. Further details about the scheme and the committee's procedures are set out in the notes for applicants which are available from departmental administrators, faculty board secretaries, and also from the committee's secretary, Hazel Beckett, in the University Offices (telephone: (2)70148). Applicants should note the following: 1. The closing dates for equipment applications in 1993--4 are Monday, 4 October 1993 (Michaelmas Term), Monday, 10 January 1994 (Hilary Term), and Monday, 18 April 1994 (Trinity Term). 2. Applications for non-recurrent equipment grants are considered at the meeting taking place on Tuesday of week three in each term, and applications should be submitted by Monday of noughth week. 3. Applications should be made on an application form copies of which can be obtained from the secretary, together with notes for applicants. 2 The Special Research Grant Scheme The committee awards three types of research grants: (a) Pump-priming research grants---pump-priming research grants are intended to support promising new developments, particularly where support at an early stage can exercise a seed-corn function. They are chiefly made to enable researchers to carry out pilot work which an outside body would not and the department could not support and are intended as preambles to large outside grant applications. (b) Emergency research grants---the emergency scheme is intended to support promising research projects unexpectedly in serious difficulty, when a short-term grant can enable a project to go ahead or continue which might otherwise have to be seriously delayed or abandoned. (c) Special short-term dual-support research grants for the arts ---these grants are restricted to members of arts faculties whose research is not eligible for support from any of the research councils, including the ESRC, and consequently excludes subjects such as Economics, certain branches of Law and Social Studies, as well as Mathematics, Statistics, Geography, Anthropology and Scientific Archaeology. The dual-support grants are designed to support small-scale projects and pilot studies, which can be self-contained and need not necessarily be conceived as preludes to large outside grant applications. Under this scheme, the Research and Equipment Committee will normally meet 50 per cent of the salary costs of a postgraduate or postdoctoral research assistant for a maximum period of one year, together with support costs, subject to the other half of the costs being obtained from the British Academy. There is no application form for these grants but applicants should follow the notes of guidance, which set out the committee's guidelines and the information which should be included in applications for all three types of special research grant. The notes for applicants are available from departmental administrators, faculty board secretaries, and the committee's secretary Hazel Beckett in the University Offices. Four copies of each application should reach the committee's secretary in the University Offices by the closing date on the Monday of week four. The committee considers applications for special research grants at its meetings on Tuesday of week seven in each term. Only applications submitted by the head of department or (in non-departmentally organised subjects) the faculty board chairman concerned will be considered. Eligibility for special research grants is confined to established (permanent) members of the academic staff. The closing dates for research grant applications in 1993--4 are Monday, 1 November 1993 (Michaelmas Term), Monday, 7 February 1994 (Hilary Term), and Monday, 16 May 1994 (Trinity Term). 3 Bridging Support Scheme The General Board has provided the sum of c.œ66,000 in 1993--4 to fund the Bridging Support Scheme, a limited discretionary fund to finance the employment of member(s) of academic-related contract research staff in circumstances where there is a gap between research contracts and certain conditions are satisfied. The scheme is administered by the Research and Equipment Committee and has been endorsed by the Staff Committee and the Joint Consultative Committee with the Oxford AUT. The Bridging Support Scheme is intended to permit the employment, in certain circumstances, of academic-related research staff between fixed-term contracts, in order (a) to encourage the retention of experienced and skilled staff; and (b) to avoid the traumatic and disruptive break in employment and career which might otherwise be faced by such staff. It is emphasised that bridging finance is intended to be used solely to fund the salary costs of employing staff and does not extend to financing expenditure on equipment, consumables, etc., which remain the responsibilities of the department concerned. Further information about the Bridging Support Scheme is available from departmental administrators, faculty board secretaries, and the committee's secretary, Hazel Beckett, in the University Offices (telephone: (2)70148).
