RE: AIS- Scientific Grant Proposals

["Brad" <zebrairis1@aol.com>]

Hi All,

I believe this motion commits more money than the current budget recognizes
for research. Is this motion appropriate for changing our current budget? Or
should a budget increase be approved prior to agreeing to spend more than is
currently allotted?

What appreciate Jill and Roy's opinion on this.

All the best,
Brad Kasperek

Subject: [AISdiscuss] AIS- Scientific Grant Proposals

The Scientific Advisory Committee received two research grant proposals. The
first proposal is by Miss Jinyan Guo, titled "Phylogenetic and developmental
study of Iris subgenus Limniris section Lophiris and related species".   The
second proposal is by Dr. Allan Meerow, and titled "Heterogeneity,
ecological
specialization and introgression in a large population of Iris
savannarum".   Both of these proposals were reviewed by the committee
and recommended for funding by the American Iris Society.   The total first
year cost is $6160.   Both are two-year studies.  The total second year cost
is $6405.   Payments to researchers can be made in increments throughout the
two-year period.
 
I move that the AIS fund both Miss Guo's research grant request and Dr.
Meerow's research grant request.
 
Gary White,
AIS Director
Chair of Scientific Advisory Committee
