INTER-AMERICAN INSTITUTE PLANNING GRANTS To facilitate the formulation of proposals to the Inter-American Institute (IAI) for Research Consortia, the U.S. National Science Foundation has established an IAI Research Planning Grant program. Open to all members of the IAI (Canada is a member), the program will make one-time awards of up to $50,000 to cover professional travel and meeting expenses. The grants are to be used for preliminary work to determine the feasibility of a proposed research network, and/or for other activities that will facilitate proposal development. Inquiries should be directed to Dr. Paul Filmer, IAI Program Director, National Science Foundation, tel: (703) 306-1515; fax: (703) 306-0091; e-mail: pfilmer@nsf.gov. s
