Re Proposal：0848357首席研究员：Torres，Rodolfo HCO-首席研究员：Estela A Gvosto，Marianne K Korten，Charles K Moore机构：堪萨斯大学有效获奖期：2008年1月11日至2009年10月31日摘要该奖项将支持参加2008年11月7日和8日在堪萨斯州劳伦斯大学举行的2008年价格分析研讨会的研究人员的费用。这次研讨会是自2001年以来连续组织的八次研讨会，其中五次得到了以前国家科学基金会的资助。将向目前没有持有NSF奖项的与会者提供支持，全体演讲者除外。据了解，大部分资金将提供给研究生、博士后和初级教师，但某些高级参与者也将获得资助。在2008年秋季的会议上，预计将有来自地区大学和其他机构的约40名与会者。该节目将有三位主要演讲者，他们将发表一小时的演讲，以及一些贡献的演讲。来自堪萨斯大学和其他机构的研究生的大量参与是这一系列会议的典型代表。后续会议的计划仍处于规划阶段，将有类似的结构。

Re Proposal: 0848357Principal Investigator: Torres, Rodolfo HCo-Principal Investigator: Estela A Gavosto, Marianne K Korten, Charles K MooreInstitution: University of KansasEffective period of award: 11/01/2008 through 10/31/2009 AbstractThis award will provide support to defray expenses of researchers participating in the Prarie Analysis Seminar 2008 that will take place November 7 and 8, 2008, at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. This seminar is eight in a row of seminars organized since 2001, five of which were supported by previous NSF grants. Support will be provided to participants who do not currently hold NSF awards, with exceptions made for plenary speakers. It is understood that much of the funding will be directed to graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty but that certain senior participants will be funded as well.At the Fall 2008 meeting, about 40 participants from regional universities as well as from other institutions are expected. The program will feature three principal speakers, who will deliver one-hour lectures, and a number of contributed talks. Significant participation by graduate students from both University of Kansas and other institutions typifies this conference series. The programs for the later meetings, still in the planning stages, will have a similar structure.
