Ithaca/Weill Research Collaboration Graduate Student Transit Fund
Provost Biddy Martin and Vice Provost of Life Sciences Steve Kresovich are pleased to announce the Ithaca/Weill Graduate Student Transit Fund. The Provost's office will provide funding for faculty whose graduate students travel to and from Ithaca and Weill Cornell Medical College on the Campus to Campus bus for collaborative research and grant activities.
To receive funding, sponsoring Ithaca faculty should send a brief description of the Ithaca/Weill research project to the Vice Provost for Life Sciences' office to the attention of Lindsay Welch, lew7@cornell.edu, in advance of any student travel. Reimbursement to department accounts will be made before the end of the fiscal year based on a summary of the graduate student trips made on the Campus to Campus bus. (January 2007)
