2011
These 23 projects were selected from a total of 106 which were submitted with budgets totaling approximately $1,070,000. Note that in cases where the award was made to a group of researchers, only the principal researcher(s) is/are named. Each project also includes a notation mentioning the sponsoring institution and the project title.
The projects were selected in December 2010 and work begins in early 2011. The deadline for project completion is December 2011, though we allow researchers a one-time, six-month no-cost extension, extending the final deadline to June 2012. The research teams will present their interim findings at a workshop held on 7-8 August 2011 in Prague. The resulting papers from these projects will be made available as they are submitted.
