John Ryan |
John Ryan brings twenty-one years of successful experience in the field of grant writing, development, and research administration to his position of Partnership Administrator for Grant Development with the Office of the Vice President for Education Partnerships. Even in his early career, as an undergraduate student while earning his bachelor’s degree in Spanish at Georgetown University, John was attracted to the world of grants and starting out as a clerk in Georgetown’s Office of Sponsored Programs, he quickly moved up to the position of Assistant Accountant. When he graduated in 1985, John accepted a full-time position as Grants and Contracts Specialist at Georgetown, affording him many opportunities, highlights of which included international travel to Panama and the Dominican Republic for grant development and contract negotiations. In 1987, John relocated to the Phoenix, Arizona area where he first became employed by Arizona State University with the Hispanic Research Center as Sponsored Projects Proposal Coordinator for Project PRIME (Project to Improve Minority Education). He later was promoted to Assistant Director of Project 1000 (a project that helps underrepresented minorities get into graduate school), specializing in obtaining and the administration of grant support. While working for the Center, John completed an MA from Arizona State in Spanish Linguistics and co-authored several papers in second language acquisition in the academic journal Hispania. In 1995, John left the Hispanic Research Center to work for the Office of Research and Creative Activities as Sponsored Projects Officer, was later promoted to Sponsored Projects Site Lead, and then to Sponsored Projects Site Supervisor, during which his primary areas of responsibility were education-related units such as the College of Education, Student Affairs, etc. During this time, John passed the CRA (Certified Research Administrator) Examination of the Research Administrators Certification Council. In 2003, John assumed the position of Development Officer for the College of Education, surpassing college fundraising goals both years he held this position. In 2005, after a brief illness, John decided it was time to return to school to finish his doctorate in linguistics, specifically, cross-linguistic syntactic studies in first language acquisition. He now works for the Office of the Vice President in a grant writing capacity until he completes his doctorate in May of 2008.
