I was at the fall meeting when the budget was created. At that time
we allocated $5000 to the scientific fund to be added to $5000 that
was already in the fund. We also had $2000 for Advertising. At that
point the budget was balanced. But just before adjournment it was
proposed that $9000 was needed to redo the website. In order to
balance the budget My committee forfeited the $2000 and the
scientific committee forfeited the $5000 to compensate for the
change. To my knowledge there have been no proposals for the use of
the $9000 this year so I would assume we are presently that far
ahead in our budget and it seems likely that the proposals for its
allocation will not be realized until the next budget. Therefore I
would suggest that the money should be available for the science
committee in this calender year if we so choose.--Bob

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
