Dear Faculty, As part of the phase-I grant under the NRI-funded MIND program, Purdue received $215,000 to fund seed grants for nanoelectronics. These funds must be expended by June 30, 2011. Grant funds will be distributed based on short proposals submitted under this RFP. Seed grant proposals that require the use of BNC recharge facilities may submit an attached MIND recharge grant proposal to cover these costs. The RFP information is attached to this email. Please submit your proposal to me by June 4, 2010. Questions regarding this process can be addressed to Prof. James Cooper, BNC Interim Director, or Prof. Gerhard Klimeck, NCN Director. Best regards, ~ Monica M. Cortez Allain, Ph.D. ~ ************************************************************ Monica M. Cortez Allain, Ph.D. Managing Director Birck Nanotechnology Center 1205 W.
