COAA 2009 Spring Workshop
May 2009
Dear Members and Friends,
You are cordially invited to the 2009 COAA Spring Workshop. This year the workshop will highlight the topic of research funding.
We have two keynote speakers. Dr. Tony Liu, who just returned to Goddard after a 5-year stint as the ONR international representative in Tokyo, will cover funding opportunities in the Navy and discuss possible collaborations with Asian nations. Professor Quanan Zheng, who is finishing his 2-year stint at NSF as a program manager, will give us the inside track to getting NSF support.
As always, we encourage you (especially young scientists) to report your recent research results. The presentations should be suitable for a general scientific audience (i.e., not experts in your specific field). We ask that you keep your report brief (15-20 minutes). This could be a very good opportunity for aspiring graduate students to practice their public speaking skills.
