4. Obtain proof of payment for your CSDS licences.
This could be a receipt from the CCDC showing that payment in
full has been made, a photocopy of a credit card bill showing
payment in full to the CCDC, documentation from your
institution's financial office showing payment in full to the
CCDC. |

We request
reimbursement from Illinois State University for $xxxx usd for
purchase of a 2009 CSDS site licence from the CCDC according to
the NSF-DCF project rate.

taking longer. |

CSDS Faculty Training
Workshops |
|
If you are a current DCF CSDS project
participant, contact Greg Ferrence to schedule an on site visit
by him. |
|
Format is flexible. Generally
Greg will spend a full day on site, having faculty work
"hands-on" with the CSDS. He can meet individually with
faculty or in groups for a little or as much time is convenient. |
|
Greg is happy to present a 1-hour
seminar style discussion of the CSDS. This is particularly
useful if it is early in the visit and is combined with
individual or small group meetings with faculty. |
|
If invited, Greg is happy to present a
research seminar about his f-element research to your
Department. This is not related to the DCF project, but as
long as I am on site, you may find this convenient. |
|
Expenses for Greg's travel are covered
by the NSF-DCF grant. |
