Continuing Working Groups (Fall 2012)

Existing working groups of faculty in the first phase of the Corridor, who have proposed new projects or activities as part of the renewal process in spring 2011 have already received a letter of commitment detailing the amount of funding for approved projects in 2012. In addition, new working groups in each of the seven research areas (clusters) were added in reviews conducted during the spring semester.

If you have already received a letter of commitment for your 2012 Working Group, at this time we are asking that you submit worksheets (below) for activities to be executed during the fall semester, which should be completed no later than December 5th, 2012. All worksheets are due to the P.I. of the institution where the activity will take place by May 15th, 2012.  Final proposed budgets will be reviewed by the P.I.'s during their annual meeting in June, as well as by the Office of Sponsored Programs of the institution where the activity will take place. Funding for approved projects and activities should be available no later than Julty 15th, 2012. Please check this web-site regularly for updated information, downloadable forms and instructions, as well as a list of 2012 projects and working groups in each cluster.
