3 CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - RESEARCH CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARD
This is the call for nominations for the Research Career Development award. Let's give our outstanding faculty the recognition they deserve.

An award of approximately $5000 may be given to one or two faculty in CALS annually.
Please visit the url below for details. Nominations from the unit head are due February 15, 2008.
