WORKING GROUPS

New RFP for Working Group Proposals. Proposals due March 1, 2008.

A working group is an interdisciplinary collaboration that includes faculty, postdoctoral associates and students. Working groups will convene at the Center to develop new science initiatives that will synthesize existing knowledge and to develop and implement novel research programs and organize proposals that will ensure continuing support.

Working groups can have lifetimes lasting between a semester and several years and are expected to reside primarily at the Center for at least one semester. Faculty will be expected to relocate to the Center, which will provide office space, clerical and computer support and meeting rooms.

Proposals to use Center facilities are selected through peer review by the executive committee. The Center will entertain a broad range of synthetic activities and approaches and will especially focus on topics that are new, timely and likely to have impact on research and graduate training at Duke University.

RFP FOR NEW WORKING GROUP PROPOSALS

Complete RFP will be posted soon
