Dear "Rietvelders" -
Some of the d-spacing and intensity lists in your outputs could be of
mutual benefit to you and the ICDD's Powder Diffraction File (PDF). A way
to realize this mutual benefit is through the ICDD Grants-in-Aid Program.
The ICDD offers grants-in-aid which can be used most effectively as
supplements to
existing funded projects involving the preparation and powder XRD
characterization of
materials not now represented in the PDF-2. Grant-in-Aid proposals will be
considered, on a competitive basis, from any qualified investigator
(academic, government, or industry), anywhere in the world, who can
demonstrate expertise in the preparation of high quality powder diffraction
patterns.
The duration of a grant-in-aid is 12 months. Renewal for additional
12-month periods can be considered, again on a competitive basis, if
progress has been satisfactory. There are currently 41 active grants, the
great majority of them outside the USA, at a combined evaluation of just
under US$300,000.
Deadlines for receipt of grant-in-aid proposals at ICDD Headquarters are 31
January and 31 July. Detailed guidelines for the proposals and proposal
forms are available from:
Shelley Wolkov, ICDD, 12 Campus Blvd., Newtown Square, PA 19073-3273, USA
FAX: (610) 325-9823; e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am hoping to see many fine, new proposals on 31 January 2000 and others
on 31 July 2000.
