Announcements
The Office of VP Research and the College of Health are pleased to announce a new research development initiative: the NIH Proposal Writing Bootcamp, a six-month program for faculty and postdocs to work through the process of developing a proposal and submitting it to the agency. We invite all research faculty and postdocs across the university to be a part of the inaugural cohort. We will prioritize pre-tenure faculty and/or faculty who have not yet had a successful NIH proposal. To join the cohort, we ask that you send a maximum one page statement outlining your potential grant idea and attesting to your commitment to vpresearch@lehigh.edu by November 15, 2023.

Reminder: The LIRA system, including Grants and Agreements, will be down from 5pm on Friday, November 10th through 8:00am on Monday, November 13th in order to implement the new COI module. During this time, no new proposals can be created and access to existing proposals will be unavailable. Visit the LIRA Announcements and News page for more information.

Heather Messina
Assistant Director, Research Administration
College of Health
How would you describe your job to a layperson? I am responsible for directing and overseeing college-level research administration functions. The faculty focus on the scientific aspects of funding proposal development and awarded projects, and me and my team takes care of the rest behind the scenes.
What is the last book you read? The last book I read was for my dissertation “Big Data on Campus: Data Analytics and Decision Making in Higher Education.” The Lehigh Institutional Research Office provided insights within the context of the book which was a nice surprise! And I read other books to my kids every night.
How do you relax? I love gardening and cleaning up my yard from spring through fall. Also, going to the beach to enjoy the sun and salty air is an activity I hope to do more frequently throughout all seasons!
