Dear EMBRIO Members,
Wishing you all an enjoyable winter break, safe travels, and may we all be healthy in the New Year. A few announcements and dates to hold on your calendar as we close out the semester.


Please hold the following dates for next summer in-person activity:

July 10 - 12, Trainee Workshop, Notre Dame University

July 13 - 14, All-Hands Annual Meeting, Purdue University

Thrust & Site Leads Only - block Feb. 9 and 10 for our workshop at Indiana University


NSF Items
Our annual report and year 3 budget will be due the end of June to our NSF Program Officer (rather than Sept. 1). This necessitates a much earlier start to the reporting and budget request process. More details are coming in the New Year.

Our first official NSF site visit will be virtual, with a yet to be determined date in February or March. Again, more details forthcoming.


EMBRIO Purdue campus REU

student nominations and project details due Jan. 13 for first consideration. Please complete the online survey to submit your project details, and student information if you have a student already in mind.
