GSEF Project Funding Recipients: Winter 2010

Winter 2010

The GSEF has announced the Winter 2010 winners for project funding!

Initially, ten applications were received. At the first review meeting, two were rejected. We discussed the various projects and what additional information was required to decide how to allocate the funds. Over the next few weeks, we compiled additional details (checking other funding situations, asking multiple projects from a single department to be rank ordered, etc) and disseminated this information electronically. We met for a second time and decided on the fund allocations, with two projects being rejected at this stage (there were concerns about a repeating project regarding the diversity aim of our funding projects, and a second request was for individual conference travel funds, which the committee believed was more appropriate to be submitted for Travel Awards, which GSEF Contributes to). We then discussed the applications, and arrived at the final totals.
