 Bob Damrauer arrived at the University of Colorado
Denver in 1968, having completed his BS at Michigan in chemistry, a PhD
in chemistry at MIT, and National Science Foundation-sponsored
postdoctoral studies at Harvard. He served as a regular member of the CU
Denver chemistry department for about forty years with brief excursions
into administrative roles. From 2007 to present, various administrative
positions have more fully occupied his time. During his career
at CU Denver, he has been involved in research activities in
organometallic, gas-phase, and computational chemistry. During most of
this time, funding was provided by the National Science Foundation, the
Petroleum Research Fund of the American Chemical Society, the Research
Corporation, and other agencies. A steady stream of publications in
these research areas has been produced. For further bio infomation,
see http://carbon.ucdenver.edu/~rdamraue/.1 Michael has a diverse background in the humanities with
a BS in Architecture from the University of Texas, Arlington, a Masters
in Architecture from Columbia University, and a PhD in Philosophy from
the University of Edinburgh. Alongside his role in ORS, Michael is an
Associate Professor of Architecture and Associate Dean for Academic
Affairs & Operations in the College of Architecture and Planning.
His teaching and research explores innovative interdisciplinary
dialogues that are transforming design practice, the relationship
between architecture and philosophy, and the creation of distinct
cultural identity in the wake of globalization. He has published in
journals such as Open House International, Drain Magazine, The Journal of Architecture, The Journal of Utopian Studies, and MONU (Magazine on Urbanism) as well as contributed to the books Design Studio Pedagogy: Horizons for the Future and Global Media, Culture, and Identity. His most recent publication is a book with Routledge entitled: Mapping the Global Architect of Alterity: Practice, Representation and Education.2 Stefan assists CU Denver investigators and their teams with
preparing and submitting proposals for sponsored research activities. This includes working directly with
researchers, research administrators and the Office of Grants and Contracts to
ensure sponsor compliance, preparing and reviewing project budgets, securing
internal approvals, preparing agency forms, and coordinating with internal and
external collaborative partners.
Prior to joining ORS, Stefan was a Proposal Analyst at the
CU Boulder Office of Contracts and Grants, as well as a Technical Project and
Business Development Manager for various industry players. Stefan received a B.A. from the University of
Colorado Boulder and an M.A. from Stanford University. 4 Lynette received her bachelor's and master's degrees in
Sociology from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. She has
done many presentations to a variety of audiences on the topics of fund
searching, proposal development and sponsored programs administration.
Prior to joining CU, Lynette spent twelve years in the Research Office
at Washington University in St. Louis. Her primary responsibility there
was to assist faculty in locating funding sources for upcoming research
projects, essentially working for 1,800 faculty members at any moment.
She also kept faculty and University administrators up-to-date on
current sponsored programs issues and opportunities through
research-oriented newsletters and other venues. Lynette developed and
maintained a faculty research interest database to better serve the
faculty on both the academic and medical campuses. Before going into
sponsored programs, Lynette taught sociology at the college level for
ten years. 5 Naomi's role is to develop and facilitate the ORDE
Faculty Seminar Series and other educational venues as well as to
develop resources for faculty at the University of Colorado Denver to
support them in positioning their research and grant proposals to be
more competitive for funding. Prior to joining ORDE, Naomi developed on-campus workshops for
higher education institutions nationally and internationally in a
variety of areas for Academic Impressions (AI). She also served as AI's
instructional design and facilitation lead, training and supporting the
instructional program development team. Naomi has been an adjunct
faculty member at the University of Denver for almost seven years,
designing and teaching courses including Intercultural Training and
Graduate Research and Writing. Prior to this, Naomi was a Technical
Writer for Marshall and Associates, Inc. (a software development and
consulting firm), where her primary role was proposal writing and
business development.
Naomi holds a BS in Scientific and Technical Communication from
Michigan Technological University and an MA in International and
Intercultural Communication from the University of Denver. 6 Carie handles scheduling for the AVC, plays a central
role in organizing and offering research-focused events including the
annual Research and Creative Activities Symposium (RaCAS) and ORDE
seminars, and facilitates the day to day operations of the office.3
