Re: AIS- Scientific Grant Proposals


The motion for the redesign of the website was:


That we approve a maximum budget of $8,000 to redesign the website, $3,000 to come from the General fund and $5,000 to come from the Electronic Services Restricted fund. Motion carried.

That I have not yet spent the money doesn't mean that I don't need the resource. In any case the funds from the restricted Electronic Services Fund could not be used for funding grant research.

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
