UW-Milwaukee Graduate School, Office of Research and Sponsored Programs Records, 1972-2011

Container Title
Series: 2. General Files, 1985-2011
Scope and Content Note: Series 2 consists of files documenting two programs administered by the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs: the Extramural Support Information Center (ESIC) and the JASON Project. Both of these programs were administered directly by the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs and maintained no official affiliation with any UWM Research Center.

The Extramural Support Information Center was part of a UW-System-wide initiative to provide faculty and other researchers with the resources needed to identify, locate, and properly apply for external grant funding. The collection includes ESIC annual reports, workshop agendas and attendee lists, correspondence, and monthly information packets informing the campus community of ESIC activities and newly-announced grant opportunities.

The JASON project was the UW-Milwaukee affiliate of the national JASON Foundation for Education, a non-profit subsidiary of the National Geographic Society founded in 1989. The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs administered the program for the greater Milwaukee area, helping UW-Milwaukee faculty and staff integrate their research interests into science education for local students in grades 5-8. The files include planning documents, correspondence, annual reports, budgets, and information regarding special programs, including the Argonauts' Ball and the Passport to Discovery program. Gifts, Grants, and Contracts Accepted by the Board of Regents are also included in this series.
