Dear Benjamin Watson:

If you are interested in submitting a proposal to the Chancellor's Innovation Fund, the disclosure deadline is quickly approaching. Disclosures should be submitted using our electronic invention disclosure submission tool (http://research.ncsu.edu/ott/). Inventions/ideas previously disclosed to the Office of Technology Transfer are also eligible. Please review the full solicitation for specific instructions related to proposal content, submission, and review criteria at http://research.ncsu.edu/ott/for-inventors/. A total of $450,000 is available during the FY 2014 cycle. I encourage you to consider those projects and/or ideas that could benefit from proof-of-concept funding and make sure your invention disclosure is submitted no later than November 30, 2012. The Chancellor's Innovation Fund program is highly competitive and aimed at funding technology development projects that can be translated into partnerships with industry or result in the launch of a new company. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Billy Houghteling

The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society is hosting a cookout to introduce our field to students interested in Design in Computer Science. 

Human Factors is applicable to the fields of Computer Science and Design in many ways. We research how humans interact with interfaces and apply the findings to improve upon various factors influencing these interactions. This can include anything from reducing errors or mistakes in usage to streamlining work flow. The ultimate goal is to use design principles and behavioral theories founded through research to optimize human well-being, system usability, and overall system performance. 

Come to our cookout to learn more about HFES!  Here are the details:

Day: Thursday, September 13

Time: 5pm to 8ish (feel free to stop by anytime)

Location: Owen/Tucker Beach on NCSU campus
