Cassell To: CASSELL@gibbs.oit.unc.edu Subject: Let NSF fund your world travel (to Japan) --- Forwarded message follows --- From: peapud@cortez.its.rpi.edu (Diane Hope Peapus) Subject: Let NSF fund your world travel (to Japan) Date: 7 Oct 1994 15:29:05 GMT Greetings: This as an announcement about a really good opportunity for anyone who is a grad student, or will be a grad student, and is interested in spending a summer doing research in Japan. The program allows you to find a Japanese "host", whose research is somewhat compatable to your own, or attempts to match you to a Japanese host in your general area, if you have no host of your own in mind. I went last year and collected data that will be used in my postdoc work, as well as collecting data for other people in my lab. Please feel free to distribute the announcement to anyone that you think will be interested. Anyone wanting additional info about what it was really like, is free to contact me at... diane@cwxtl.bioc.cwru.edu diane h peapus 216-368-8682 ______________________________________________________________ From: jcassidy@nsf.gov To: si90@nsf.gov, si91@nsf.gov, si92@nsf.gov, si93@nsf.gov, si94@nsf.gov Subject: Summer Institute 1995 Date: 6 Oct 94 10:47 EST Dear Alumni: The NSF Japan Program would appreciate it if you would please distribute the following email advertisement to any and all appropriate people, places, etc. Please encourage your colleagues, friends, and students to apply!
