In the next award period (4/1/15 – 9/30/15), we will continue to support the ExCom and Co-PI research groups, central administration at USC, data management, meetings and activities, education and diversity programs and grants and fellowships (see figure below and Appendix L). We will begin to decrease support to our community “seed” small grants and fellowships, and increase support to our education and diversity programs as the STC nears the end of its 5 year award.
In addition to NSF core funds, the center receives $366,825 annually directly from USC in the form of institutional returns on indirect costs (see table below). In both the current award year and the requested award year, the USC Institutional Support funded additional research in Director Jan Amend’s research group, GEM Summer Course instructors (an additional 0.5 month of summer salary each), and additional C-DEBI community meetings and activities. Remaining funds are used at the Director’s discretion to support important Center projects and to position C-DEBI closer to renewal success. See details of non-monetary institutional commitment in Appendix M.
