i-f875c0b07d9b3cb6229668554781b35a-alice.jpgJust got word that our NSF-ADVANCE grant that we’d been waiting on was finally funded. W00T!!! Start date of October 1. It’s not listed on the NSF website yet, but I’ll post the link when it is.

It’s $3.9M. The president of the university is the PI, and I’m one of 3 co-PIs. It will fund my research assistants and my major research for 5 years. Not bad for a newbie assistant professor.

I think I’m going to take the evening off.

Updated 9/6/08: the NSF award information and abstract is here.

    Wow – congratulations! Good to hear about success now and again – we tend to focus on our failures instead. Enjoy your evening off. :)

    Fabulous! I missed this yesterday but I hope you have a really fine hangover today. What a great vote of confidence that the univ pres wanted you to be one of the co-PIs.

    Five years is absolutely awesome! Congratulations, you should be very, very proud and your lab folks should feel very, very fortunate.

    Thanks, y’all! I’m still in the happy phase, and not yet in the overwhelmed phase. I’m hoping to stay in the former for as long as possible. ;-)
