Scholarship Support Program
Faculty and staff members who need assistance with their research can now receive help from the Scholarship Support Program at the Center for Health and Social Research (CHSR). The center will provide consultation in project design, qualitative and quantitative methodology, questionnaire development, program evaluation, data management and analysis, and statistical design. This service is supported by the Graduate Studies and Research Office, Academic Affairs, and the Research Foundation
The goal of the Scholarship Support Program is to increase scholarship in areas such as conference presentations, articles, project reports, evaluations, and grant and contract applications. Staff members from CHSR will provide one-on-one assistance and will broker specialized expertise with on-campus and off-campus consultants and, in the case of potential grant possibilities, with the Pre-award Office of the Research Foundation as needed. To arrange a meeting regarding your research interests, please contact William Wieczorek, director of CHSR, at ext. 6137 or wieczowf@buffalostste.edu.

Policy on Alcohol and Drug Use in the Workplace
In compliance with the Federal Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, employees of Buffalo State College should be aware of and must adhere to the policy stated below:
- The unlawful use, possession, manufacture, dispensation, or distribution of controlled substances in all Buffalo State College work locations is prohibited. The term "controlled substance" means a controlled substance in Schedules I through V of Section 202 of the Controlled Substances Act (21USC812).
- Employees who unlawfully manufacture, distribute, dispense, possess, or use a controlled substance will be subject to disciplinary procedures consistent with applicable laws, rules, regulations, and collective bargaining agreements.
- Employees must notify the Human Resource Management Office of any criminal conviction for a drug-statute violation occurring in the workplace or at a work site no later than five working days after such conviction. An employee so convicted will be required to satisfactorily participate in a state-approved drug-abuse assistance or rehabilitation program as a condition of continuing employment.
- No employee will report for work or will work impaired by any substance, drug or alcohol, lawful or unlawful. "Impaired" means under the influence of a substance such that the employee's motor senses (i.e., sight, hearing, balance, reaction, or reflex) or judgment either are or may be reasonably presumed to be affected.
- Medical testing may be done if the college has a reasonable suspicion that an employee is unable to perform job duties due to the misuse of alcohol, controlled substances, or prescription drugs.
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available on campus for employees who wish to seek assistance in dealing with drug- or alcohol-related problems as well as a variety of other concerns. A current list of EAP coordinators can be found at www.buffalostate.edu/offices/hr/eap.asp.
Questions regarding the Policy on Alcohol and Drug Use in the Workplace should be referred to Emmanuel J. Hillery, employee relations manager, at ext. 4822.

Grant Allocation Committee Program Funding Applications
The Auxiliary Services Grant Allocation Committee is accepting applications for funding of program proposals for the 2004–2005 academic year. Proposals should contribute to the college's vision, mission, core values, and strategic directions, as presented in the 2003–2008 Strategic Plan for Buffalo State College.
Programs and events funded must be open to all students, faculty, and staff at Buffalo State and result in a direct educational experience. All Buffalo State students, faculty, and staff are eligible to apply. Application packets are available in the Vice President for Student Affairs Office, Cleveland Hall 513; the United Students Government Office, Campbell Student Union 401; the Student Life Office, Campbell Student Union 400; and the Student Union Information Desk.
The committee welcomes submissions from all campus departments and offices but will probably be able to fund only one proposal from each area or from one submitter due to the limited availability of funds. Please coordinate with colleagues who might also be submitting proposals to the Grant Allocation Committee for this round.
