A CESU National Network Meeting is being held 19-20 June 2001 in Washington, DC. Proposals are sought from universities to participate in the establishment of up to two additional CESUs in FY02. These CESUs will serve two selected biogeographic areas of the country: 1) Great Lakes Northern Forest and 2) Gulf Coast. All universities granting doctoral degrees and located in the identified areas are eligible to submit proposals. Proposals are due 15 October 2001. A Request For Proposals (RFP) is available to eligible universities. The RFP includes a detailed description of the CESU concept and instructions for preparation of proposals.
