Dear Colleagues, We will have our mid-year Birck Faculty meeting on Thursday June 15 at 11:30am in BRK 1001. Please let Jaime know if you can make it so that we order enough lunches. We will also have WebEx (please let Jaime know if you plan to participate remotely). See below the agenda of the meeting. In addition to regular updates, we will discuss about the equipment replacement/purchase priorities. For the latter, we look forward to hear your input. The priority will be given to a shared equipment that is used by a wide range of users and/or unique facilities that can set Purdue apart for major center proposals. We encourage acquisitions for which partial funding will be provided by faculty, departments and/or colleges. For faculty or staff who may be interested to make a pitch for a tool, please send me by Monday June 12 at 5pm, 2-3 viewgraphs about the equipment’s main capabilities and cost, key groups that can benefit from the tool in current or future projects and their anticipated usage. The pitch should be 2-3 minutes (except for major tools where we will spend more time as needed). Please let Dimitri or me know if you have any suggestions about what else we should discuss at the meeting. Best regards, Ali ******************* BNC Faculty meeting 11:30am-1:30pm Thursday June 15, 2015 Birck 1001 Agenda · New Faculty/Staff · New laboratories and equipment installations · Financial update; Equipment usage · Staff cross-training · Common process characterization · Birck Faculty Leadership Council · Equipment replacement/ new equipment priorities · Q&A *******************

Dear Professors, Here is an analysis of the Federal budget proposal as interpreted by Lewis-Burke, the consulting company Purdue has hired to be closer to Washington policy and funding. FYI.

The request builds on the budget blueprint released in March and proposes dramatic cuts to domestic government programs across federal agencies in order to increase defense spending. The submission of the president’s budget request comes as Congress has already begun work on FY 2018 appropriations and the advocacy community has already engaged congressional champions to protect key programs. While the drastic cuts proposed in the request are unlikely to be enacted into law, the budget request provides information on agency plans as well as early insight on Trump Administration research priorities. There are several key programs for Purdue that are impacted by this request, but please keep in mind it is a starting point. We will be coordinating with Debbie on the legislative strategy, and I expect we will have several calls to determine the next steps for protecting your critical programs. I will follow up when I’m back in DC and you have had a chance to review the document. Best, Paula Paula Trimble Lewis-Burke Associates LLC 440 1st Street, NW Suite 700 Washington, D.C. 20001 202-289-7475 866-597-3294-fax Paula(a)lewis-burke.com<mailto:Paula@lewis-burke.com> www.lewis-burke.com<http://www.lewis-burke.com/> ________________________________ Disclaimer: This message is intended only for the named recipient.
