Includes bibliographical references.The Child Development Lab at Northern Illinois University has had a history of helping Bachelor degree candidates receive their diplomas with the completion of the internship/practicum at their lab. While using their facilities as research for multiple classes, it was discovered that they were in need of new playground materials. It was decided something would be done to help gain financial funding for this project. Multiple sources were considered and using a grant database to find a grant suitable for the lab’s needs proved to be the best idea. After the attendance of grant application training, an interview with the associate director of the lab (expert informant on the subject), research of playground equipment, and many grant searches, past grant guidelines from Hasbro Foundation were determined as the most fitting source. A grant application was written to complete the process
AEDA, a Unique Data and Information Management System for the Environmental Sciences
The Agricultural and Environmental Data Archive (AEDA) combines the advances in Open Linked Data with Research Data Management approaches to manage a variety of digital objects from documents, images and video to GIS layers and scientific datasets. The subject focus of the Freshwater Biological Association (FBA) initiative is inland waters, their catchments and the agricultural and other environmental influences on their biology, chemistry and ecology. AEDA consists of a data model that meets the needs of long-term digital curation whilst complying with the requirements of the EU INSPIRE Directive on data sharing and compatibility. AEDA also uses a specific controlled vocabulary in order to ensure that all data and other digital information stored within it uses a common language and can therefore be published as Open Linked Data and made available via AEDA’s Linked Data API (currently in development). AEDA represents a combined data and information archival and publication platform
