>make presentations on their programs and will also be available 
>individually and in breakout sessions for more specific discussions 
>of potential research proposals.

>The National Science Foundation is charged with keeping our nation's 
>science and engineering enterprise healthy, dynamic, and relevant 
>and with advancing science, mathematics, engineering, and technology 
>education at all levels from pre-K through postdoctoral. It is our 
>hope that events such as this will stimulate new interest in NSF 
>programs at institutions that have not been among our traditional 
>customers, as well as at premier research institutions.

>form is enclosed. You can register by sending the requested 
>information by email to _gwilson at nsf.gov_ <mailto:gwilson at nsf.gov>
