Engineering Faculty:<br><br>NSF and other agencies have a number of solicitations that have due dates of 9/15/11 and 9/16/11. <br>Included in these deadlines are two (2) NSF ERC submissions that our college is a part. One as the lead institution and the other as an university partner.<br>
<br>These two ERC submissions are being given top priority on 9/14, 9/15, and 9/16.<br><br>Thus, if you are planning to submit to NSF or other agencies for a 9/15 or 9/16 deadline, it is a MUST that you get all your information<br>
to Gerri and/or Rudy by Wednesday 9/7 at noon such that we can get your proposals submitted no later than 12 noon on 9/13.<br><br>On 9/14, our full attention will be on successfully submitting these two aforementioned ERC proposals to NSF.<br>
