FW: Major Equipment Program Pre-proposal Guidelines and Template
by Shakouri, Ali 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

Dear Colleagues, I hope you have a nice Christmas holidays. Please see below and attached guidelines for the EVPRP Major Equipment Program (2-page preproposal) which is due on Jan. 31st. Typical cost is between $250K-1M (exceptions will be considered for more expensive equipment that can have a big impact). They require 1/3 of the cost to come from departments/colleges/PIs so you need to start the dialog early. I encourage you to submit proposals that can bring new capabilities to Birck or bridge technological gaps. Installation costs should be included in the proposal. Please give us at least two-weeks so that we can identify lab space and estimate facility modifications.

Adams Professor in Mechanical Engineering, as committee members. On behalf of the committee, I am informing you of this review. The review will be comprehensive, addressing all relevant dimensions of Dr. Shakouri's responsibilities. The review will be retrospective and thus will consider how Dr. Shakouri's position responsibilities and characteristics have evolved over time. It also will be prospective, in that it will be used to suggest areas for emphasis and change that will further the Office of the Executive Vice President for Research and Partnerships', Discovery Park's, and Purdue's mission and goals.
