claim and support from the agriculture
realm for his research in raisin drying,
according to Vidoli.
She also mentioned agriculture professor Joo Kim's study of mushrooms
and associate professor of engineering
Del Roblson's research in alcohol-
fuel produced from agricultural products.
There are a number of things
that have been done that are noteworthy,' Vidoli said.
But a faculty member Just can not
ask for $100,000 and use only half, then
pocket the other half.
When a. faculty member desires to
do research on a certain project, he must
fill out the required forms. According
to Research Program Assistant Sid
Kushner, the forms are like a "term
paper-plus.* They are in narrative form,
and they are not as simple as a student
aid or grant application.
The faculty member must clearly,
completely state what his objectives are
and how he Is going to accomplish them
He must list the standards by which
he is going to do the research, his procedures, and how the accomplishments
will provide proof of what he said he
was going to do.
Then comes the budget process.
•We want them (the faculty member)
shooting In the ballpark,' Vidoli said
about establishing a'budget.
She said that the agency awarding
the grant goes over the proposed budget
thoroughly and will not award $100,000
for a $50,000 project
The money goes from the agency to
the CSUF* Foundation, which acts as
the official university money handler
The faculty member must submit a
voucher for the funds to the foundation, which acts as an accounting firm.
If a faculty member wants to change
his budget In the middle of the project,
he must first get the permission of the
agency.
Very seldom is there any money left
over. If there is, the agency either takes
It back or if ft is a small enough amount
then it is put Into an open account in
the foundation.
Grants awarded for no specific reason
or area are also put in this open account.
Open accounts allow for a wide
range of projects to be started. They
help with the purchase of equipment
or travel expenses.
They help the university establish
public benefits with new perspectives,
and they allow the university to put
on seminars and the like with world-
renowned people. They also help
the university compete on a national
and local level with other universities.
If a faculty .member has trouble
organizing a research project, then the
School of Craduate Studies and Research
can help
Kushner also said that the competition
for the grants is very intense. He said
500 to 1,000 people apply for each
available grant. A grant review process
determines who it thinks will do the best
job and awards that person with the
grant.
The money for the grants comes
from the federal and sUte government
mandates for research. Consequently
they develop programs out of the money
from such places as the departments
of energy, education, agriculture,
transportation and human services.
Others come from organizations such as
the Ford or Rockefeller Foundations.
CSUF, according to Kushner, is receiving a pretty fair share of the grants
available.
'We are doing well for our size,* he
said. "We (the university) provide a lot
of services through project activity.'
Vidoli is in the process of establishing
a patent process so faculty members who
invent something of interest can have
the project patented.
She said this is not uncommon among
other universities and CSUF even had
this at one time, but legal reasons
cancelled it. She said CSUF should have
mis again in the near future.
'It's one of the most exciting areas
to be In,' she said about bar Job. 'It's
where all the action Is.*

Humanities grant could
put CSUF 'on the map
The CSUF School of Humanities
has received the final leg of a three-year
grant to complete its unique composition program for students in the six
professional studies areas.
Dr. Joseph Satin, co-director of the
project with English professor Kenneth
Seib, said the model program could
put CSUF 'on the map.*
The National Endowment for the Humanities, in granting the $99,999
needed to fund the programs for engineering and agriculture, has to date
contributed nearly $300,000 toward the
project.
"It's one of the four biggest (grants)
ever received in the (California SUte
University and Colleges) system,'
said Satin.
"It is pure research versus applied
research;* Satin added. 'It's a breakthrough, an innovative program, that
will be a model for the system and
country.*
The program is the only one of its
kind In the CSUC system.
Tbe program was implemented in
1979, beginning with the business
and health science areas. This year the
project included social work and criminal

bag of society,' Satin said. 'Its better
to start with material that's really interesting, flatfooted prose and creative
vision dealing with the same (subject)
material. If a student is comfortable with
a subject, there is a lot more motivation.*
The school can only afford two programs a year, as the grant can be a maximum of $100,000 each year. Satin said
that in 1979 only 15 or 16 students
enrolled in each course, but this year
more than 50 students signed up for
the business class.
'We do the best we can to advertise,*
