NISS Affiliates Program
NISS/SAMSI University Affiliates Program
Update: April 2006
1. AFFILIATES ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting in Athens, GA on April 27 and 28 was most stimulating and useful. Copies of both scientific and other presentations are on the affiliates web site at http://www.niss.org/affiliates/planningmeeting200604.html. A meeting summary will be at the same location by the end of next week.
Thanks again to John Stufken and his colleagues at the University of Georgia for helping get the "mobile annual meetings" off to a good start.
2. SURVEY COST WORKSHOP. More than 70 people attended the April 18-19 survey
cost workshop in Washington. Copies of presentations are available at http://www.niss.org/affiliates/surveycost200604/surveycost-workshop200604.html.
A workshop report and plans for follow-up activities are in preparation.
3. NEW RESEARCHER FELLOWSHIPS. The first public announcement of the NISS
New Researcher Fellowships was made at the Athens meeting. You should have
received an e-mail announcement as well.
4. JSM 2006 EVENTS
5. UPCOMING AFFILIATES EVENTS
6. FALL AFFILIATES EVENTS
7. AFFILIATE-HOSTED EVENTS
Under a new program announced at the Athens affiliates meeting, NISS will, on request, officially "co-sponsor" events hosted by affiliates. Our doing so provides visibility and allows personnel from affiliates to use their reimbursement accounts in order to attend. The list of such events is at http://www.niss.org/affiliates/affiliates-events.html. Requests to include events on this list should be sent to me.
***** Affiliates reimbursement accounts may used to attend any of the events listed in items 5-7. *****
8. AJL REMINDER. Send material for the Affiliates Job Listings to Katherine Kantner (kak@niss.org). The AJL is located on the NISS web site at http://www.niss.org/affiliates/ajls.html.
