Some exciting news was recently released from the SJSU COO’s office regarding CASA faculty contract and grant rewards submitted by the SJSU Research Foundation.
A university-wide summary of the October 2012 report for contract and grant awards received and proposals submitted by the SJSU Research Foundation reflects that:
- Awards – 29 new awards were received for a total of $4,744,192.
- Proposals – 28 proposals requesting a total of $2,884,560 were submitted to sponsoring agencies.
In particular, CASA awards almost doubled in the past year (from 2011 – 2012 to 2012-2013) with awards reaching $2,530,063; representing a 76.7% increase in awards over the past year to the tune of $1,096,368. CASA proposals are also up in 2012-2013, with an 8% increase in proposals, up $161,403 from the previous year.
In particular, we would like to highlight the effort, skill, and dedication of the following CASA faculty who have received grants this past month.
| Faculty & Projects | College or Dept | Grant Provider |
| Laurie Drabble, Kathy Lemon-Osterling Child Welfare Partnerhisp for Research & Training |
School of Social Work | UC Berkeley |

Congratulations to the faculty and students who received grants and awards, and good luck to the faculty and students who are seeking grants and contracts. The increase in grant awards has occurred due to the hard work of faculty, and has also occurred due to the groundwork laid by CARHS and CASA to increase proposals and awards.
CASA is dedicated to the development of new research and providing the resources and time needed for faculty to pursue research paths that help in our efforts to transform SJSU and our communities.
