Wonderful news, Mandi! I've so appreciated your posts on the SftP
list-serv. I'm attaching the one-page description that I've used to get
funding from various quarters. I am also attaching the proposal for the
National Science Foundation grant, which was awarded. I hope that helps.
Given what I know about you from your posts, do you think it would be
possible for you to present on the panel on health and medicine? It just
so happens that that one has just started to be organized and the
organizer, Robert Shapiro, is still looking for people. If so, I'll put
you in touch with him.
Thanks so much, and DELIGHTED that you're thinking of coming!!
