Readers,
Here is my favorite way to back up my data - SanDisk 64GB drive. I enjoy using this nifty drive to plug into my laptop computers.
I hang this drive on my Vera Bradley lanyard and my data is accessible on almost any computer.
I used this brand for the past 10 years and I LOVE it! SanDisk, if you ever want to host a giveaway on my blog, please let me know! ;)
Sincerely,
J. Edwards

Readers,
I know that this might sounds crazy, but one night I had a weird dream about something happening to my academic portfolio which I kept at my office. So, I decided to relocate my academic portfolio to my home in a Rubbermaid container (to protect it from water, etc.).
Do you scan the items in your academic portfolio?
Do you keep multiple copies of your CV?
Do you have the original copies of your diplomas (which you probably have hanging in your office)?
Sincerely,
J. Edwards

Readers,
Another way to back up your data is to use iCloud by Apple. Personally, I do not use iCloud for my e-mail, etc. because I do not want others to potentially have access to my e-mail.
However, I really think that iCloud would be a great resource for some faculty and staff.
Do any of you use iCloud?
Sincerely,
J. Edwards

Readers,
Now, I save almost everything in the "CLOUD". In fact, I use Google Docs for a lot of my research endeavors and writing assignments with students. Here's a neat video about Google Docs!
Do you use Google Docs?

Readers,
Some "old school" professors actually print everything they create on the internet. This method costs their colleges and universities a wealth of money in paper and ink. Sometimes it is great to have that high level of reassurance that your research article or your notes are in print, but the paper can encounter many negative outcomes before it reaches its final destination (i.e. - water, wind, etc.).
Do any of you save everything in print?
Sincerely,
J. Edwards

Readers,
I frequently watch videos focused on grant writing to gain more information on funding resources. Here's a good resource from Vanderbilt University.

TSMRI seeks fellows for its 2012-2013 fellowship program
The Texas Social Media Research Institute (TSMRI) announces its 2012-2013 fellowship program. An online application to become a TSMRI Fellow is available at http://www.tinyurl.com/TSMRIfellowapp. The deadline to apply is Friday, March 23 and fellows will be announced May 1.
TSMRI is a multidisciplinary collaboration based at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. The institute provides research and training focused on communication technology and social media for K-12 education, higher education, businesses, and non-profit organizations.
The Texas Social Media Research Institute Fellowship Program aims to foster research on social media and provide researchers and practitioners resources for discovery, both applied and scholarly. Fellows will work with TSMRI to connect social media to their research agendas. Fellows will receive early access to the Journal of Social Media in Society, complimentary registration to the 2012 Social Media Conference and TSMRI workshops and a one-year membership to TSMRI. Fellowships are for one year (June 1 to May 31) and applicants may re-apply for one additional year.
We are excited about offering opportunities to scholars wishing to study issues in social media. We expect to have between 2 and 5 scholars for the inaugural year of the fellowship program and hope to have applicants from universities across the United States, various disciplines and research paradigms.

Readers,
I have only served on a review board for a state grant, but I have never reserved on a federal board. The State University System of Florida has an incredible resource for people who are interested in serving on a federal review board!
Serve on the National Science Foundation Review Boards...

Readers,
Today's resource is from Duke University! This university has an online database with NOTHING but research grant opportunities!
You can search the database according to upcoming deadlines, discipline, eligibility, etc. Sometimes the result list is quite overwhelming, but it is definitely one of the BETTER funding resources available for the higher education community.
Sincerely,
J. Edwards

Readers,
I am quite excited about the ProQuest Pivot funding database. I plan to use this database VERY frequently! It seems like a great resource. Does your institute have a subscription?
Enjoy!
