NOMINATIONS REQUESTED FOR THE IAS RESEARCH GRANTS COMMITTEE

The 5-member IAS Research Grants Committee has the important task of awarding approximately $60,000 annually in grants to members of the senior academy. It’s a great way to serve the academy and keep abreast of research at institutions throughout Indiana. If you know of a willing colleague (the ‘willing’ part is especially important, since it’s a 5-year commitment), please consider nominating them. While nominations of members of all academic backgrounds are encouraged, the committee will especially need expertise in chemistry or other physical sciences for the 2008 grants.
Send nominations to Mike Foos, Chair of Nominations and Elections Committee,
Indiana University East, 2325 Chester Blvd., Richmond, IN 47374-1289.
