(1) CCMC Student Research Contest due 1 May.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 From jasoon.shim at nasa.gov.

The Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) and National Science
Foundation (NSF) are pleased to announce the third annual CCMC Student
Research Contest!

We invite undergraduate and graduate students who are using (or have
recently used) CCMC tools and services in a research project or as a
part of coursework to enter the contest. Any students who participated
in the first or second contest and are still involved in space
research - we encourage you to submit a report on your new work!

A successful project could involve the use of CCMC tools to demonstrate
a physical process or concept in new and creative ways, or to gain new
understanding of one of the many unanswered questions in space physics.
Please see the website (http://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/support/contest-2014/)
for more information.

Winners in these categories will be invited to present their work at
the 2014 CEDAR, GEM, and SHINE workshops. A fixed amount of travel
support will be awarded (exact amount to be determined). Deadline
for report submission is May 1, 2014. The reports will be evaluated
and winners will be announced by mid May.
