2014
These 17 projects were selected from a total of 72 which were submitted with budgets totaling nearly $700,000.
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 in RRC 14 were selected in December 2013 and work begins in early 2014. The deadline for project completion is December 2014, though we allow researchers a one-time, six-month no-cost extension, extending the final deadline to June 2015. The research teams will present their interim findings at a workshop to be held in August 2014 in Prague. The resulting papers from these projects will be made available as they are submitted.
