Kenneth A. Pickar is currently professor of mechanical engineering at the California Institute of Technology and coprincipal investigator of the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Entrepreneurial Fellowship Program. His previous experience includes positions at Bell Laboratories, GE, and Allied Signal, Inc. 

In 1992, the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded a three-year research program to better understand three-dimensional (3D) tsunami wave runup based in part on recommendations from the International Workshop on Long Wave Runup Goals of this project were to (a) advance the theoretic and numeric modeling techniques for simulation of 3D free surface flows, (b) generate small- and large-scale experimental databases for verification and modification of numeric models, and... 

Structural work reported here was performed by Dr. H. W. Chen and Dr. C. Paparizos. The National Science Foundation NSF-CHE 80-13141 and the donors of the Petroleum Research Fund as administered by the American Chemical Society have supported this work. 

An early attempt to resolve the discrepancy between the high values of Sugimura and Suzuki (1988) and more traditional analyses failed to reach a definitive conclusion (Williams, 1992). The start of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) field program with the North Atlantic Bloom Experiment in 1989 put additional pressure on the various groups to resolve this issue quickly. The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) funded a workshop held in Seattle in July 1991 to resolve the issue. 

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Program in Geography and Regional Science funded much of the research described in this volume (Project 0095993). I am deeply indebted to the NSF and several anonymous reviewers for being willing to throw the dice on this project. 

The author s work in organocopper chemistry has been made possible by the generous support of the National Science Foundation (NSF), the American Chemical Society-Petroleum Research Fund (ACS-PRF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Thanks and appreciation go to the graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who made the chemistry work. A special thank goes to Dr. Ross Mabon and Dr. Kishan R. Chandupatla for carefully reading the entire manuscipt. 

We also wish to thank Dr. Gayle Zachmann and the staff of the Paris Research Center (PRC) for providing a wonderful venue for this second PRC workshop . Funding for the workshop came from various sources, including in particular the European Science Foundation s Simulations of Bio-Materials (SimBioMa) program, the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), and the US National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Materials Computation Center at the University of Illinois and the Texas Center for Superconductivity (TcSUH). 

The development work was funded in part by National Science Foundation (NSF) CCLI-EMD 0127541. The development of the Physical Chemistry in Practice DVD would not have been possible without the efforts by the following Peggy O Neill-Jones, Beatriz Cisneros, Joseph Farris, and Justin Heisler. The authors would also like to thank the researchers who graciously allowed us into their laboratories William Bradley, Thomas C. Brunold, Carlos Bustamante, Eric Cornell, Gerard Cote, Sossina Haile, Bill Hinsberg, Frances Houle, Stephen Leone, John D. Roberts, and Richard Schwenz. 

In a recent study of the paradox of the critical-mass issue,5 the authors cited a suggestion from B. Lazarus, a representative of WISE (Women in Science and Engineering), who advocated that the National Science Foundation (NSF) cut off grants to those universities that don t have a minimum number of female faculty in their science and engineering departments. That is a pretty drastic suggestion, but one can make it more drastic—cut off not just NSF funding but all federal funding.6... 

Another key question is, What exactly is the problem The problem is the dearth of diversity in the workforce. One example is the fact that only 18 African Americans and only 22 Latinos are currently employed in chemistry faculty positions by the top 50 institutions as ranked in a recent National Science Foundation (NSF) study. The top 50 institutions have been defined as those receiving the most governmental or private research funds available to academia. It does not mean that these are the best institutions it just means that they are getting the most funds. The net effect of these statistics is that we are averaging less than one African American or Latino per each one of these institutions. Thus the numbers are small. 

Funding sources for catalysis research in the United States is quite dispersed and may be found in several divisions of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and four or five groups within DOE, the... 

This work was partially funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Office of Naval Research (ONR) (USA). One of the authors (ONOJ) acknowledges a fellowship from Fundagao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP) (Brazil). We are also grateful to the many colleagues from the Center for Advanced Materials at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, who carried out extensive work on SRGs and whose names appear in the references. 

The authors wish to thank the National Science Foundation (NSF) for its generous support for this project and many others through the Dartmouth Mathematics Across the Curriculum Project , DUE-9552462. NSF, an independent agency of the U.S. government, funds research in science and education. 

This method of teaching chemistry at all levels has been proven successfnl in many institutions in the USA and around the world. Much of the funding for this curriculum was received from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and required an independent evaluator. The results of the evaluation showed that in... 

We are grateful for funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). 

National Science Foundation (NSF) NA NA 1,361 12.8 Training support is provided through research funds to principal investigator who hire trainees. 

Would you like the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund such a project at 1 million dollars ... 

The authors thank the National Science Foundation (NSF-STC program under DMR-0120967) and the University of Washington through the Technology Gap Innovation Fund for financial support.
