I am writing to pass along an opportunity that may be of interest to graduate students in COS and Volgenau (list of relevant fields below.) This is a small grant, but it could be just what a student needs, and can help position them competitively for larger grants down the road. Please do not hesitate to direct students to me for advice or support. Best, Kay Ralph W.
