WSU Internet2 Mini-grant Announcement:

Internet2 mini-grants are available to faculty, staff and researchers.

Because of a rebudget of unused funds, a final round of Internet2 mini-grants are available to faculty, staff and researchers. Peter Zoller, chief information officer and associate vice president for academic affairs and research, and Gerald "Skip" Loper, associate vice president for research, announce the availability of mini-grants in amounts up to $5,000 to support the development of Internet2 applications on campus.

Possible usages could be video conference equipment for individuals or departments, software, scanners for digital libraries, network equipment, or partial equipment funding.

See the Web site below on proposals approved last spring and fall.

The deadline for proposals is March 31.

See the WSU Internet2 web site at http://www.wichita.edu/Internet2 for proposal guidelines or contact John Matrow, High Performance Computing Center, 978-5306 or email to John Matrow.

Proposal Guidelines:

One to two pages to include:

• Identify yourself, office location, phone, email, position, department and college. Are any collaborators involved in the project? If so, name them and their institutions.
• Describe the project or application that you propose to develop.
• How will this project facilitate faculty and student collaboration with colleagues at other Internet2 institutions?
