An Important Note from ORA – this is to notify the campus that the GRANTS team in ORA is currently four people short. Please be patient and ensure your applications are submitted on time as required while we work through all proposals/requests and acquire new team members.
Policy for the Allocation of Research Space
A uniform policy for the allocation of research space has been approved by Health Sciences administration and the Research Oversight Committee (ROC) to establish the process for assigning, evaluating, and creating new research space at OUHSC. Research space is defined as wet laboratory or dry laboratory (e.g., office) space used for the performance of research endeavors. Application of the policy across all OUHSC research and college buildings (OKC and Tulsa) is effective immediately and can help ensure efficient and effective use of existing space and appropriate evaluation of the need for new space. To access the full policy, please visit: Research Space Allocation Policy.pdf
Proposal Development, Workshops, Webinars, and Grant Alerts Available to OUHSC Faculty through Hanover Research
Through a new partnership with Hanover Research, OUHSC now has access to expert research grant and contract writing/revision, strategic advising, and education and training which is available to OUHSC faculty at no cost to the college or department. Hanover Research provides customized proposal development, revision, and feedback, and provides assistance in identifying potential sources of funding for a project. Please see the Hanover Research Services attachment for details.

Title: Neural nets for modeling “small” data
Abstract: In this age of big data, “small” data sets of only tens or hundreds of rows are still quite common. Historically, linear regression has been a primary technique for modeling response surfaces using small data. However, simple neural networks can outperform linear regression in this context, yielding greater predictive accuracy. This talk will compare linear regression and neural nets (specifically, multilayer perceptrons) for modeling response surfaces using small data. An in-depth example will be presented using JMP® statistical software, which is free for academic use at www.jmp.com/student.
