Dear LA-SIGMA Colleagues,

Although we have yet to receive the official notice of the EPSCoR award, as
you know we have received the unofficial notice from the program manager
that
our project will be fully funded.  We expect that the start date may be as
early
as July 1, 2010 (retroactive), so we need to have a kickoff meeting as soon
as
possible.  Fortunately, a meeting that Mike Khonsari was hosting has been
canceled and we can use the reservations to gain access to Regent's
facilities
afternoon of August 17 from 1:00-5:00 PM in the Claiborne Building, 1201
North Third Street.  So we propose to have the meeting on that date.Further
details will follow, including an itinerary.

Before the proposal was submitted we asked each of you in an email sent on
10/10/09 to review the proposal and to be sure that you are comfortable with

your role as described.  We ask you to re-familiarize yourselves with your
roles
in the science driver, computational, and cyberinfrastructure teams.

This grant is a cooperative agreement with NSF, with direct NSF involvement
at all stages, and annual reviews by an External Review Board. Therefore, we

will be expected to hold ourselves accountable to achieving the goals we
have
set for ourselves.  In addition to the computational and science driver
sections
directly relevant to you,please also review the sections on Diversity,
External
Engagement, and Workforce Development, and Sustainability. In order for this

project to succeed, i.e., in order to bring about trans-formative changes to

materials science research and education in the State, all funded
participants
will need to contribute to activities beyond research, including teaching,
recruiting,
outreach, administration, etc.

We look forward to seeing you on the 17th!

best regards,
Mark, Randy, Ramu
