<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I was wondering if some of you have some good advice. Cameron
University is part of a NASA Space Grant (sub-contractor based on cost share)
and one of our faculty is managing various parts of that sub-contract including
summer events for undergraduate science students. In previous years, the
faculty in question was able to get paid for her coordination of activities in
the summer without teaching classes by the university. In other words, she was
granted some sort of paid release time. Given, the budgetary situation and the
need for about $10,000, the administration is not sure if the university can
pay such an amount in the summer of 2010. Does any of you have any suggestions
as to how to find specific external grant money to support her endeavors. I checked
the internal grant sources, but it is not even close to cover it.<o:p></o:p></p>
