CU-BOULDER PHYSICS PROFESSOR
AWARDED PACKARD FELLOWSHIP
AWARDED PACKARD FELLOWSHIP
Cindy Regal, a University of Colorado Boulder assistant professor of physics and associate fellow of JILA, has been awarded a prestigious David and Lucile Pack
ard Fellowship for Science and Engineering.
The David and Lucile Packard Foundation established the fellowship “to allow the nation’s most promising professors to pursue science and engineering research early in their careers with few funding restrictions and limited paperwork requirements.” This year, 16 fellows were selected from 100 applicants at 50 leading universities.
The five-year, $875,000 fellowship will fund Regal’s work in experimental atomic physics. She is interested in developing techniques to control single neutral atoms with lasers and create small quantum gases that can be manipulated at the single-atom level, for applications in quantum information science and in modeling physics of complex materials.
Big bucks for zero waste
Oct 13th
Funding for zero waste programs available through Boulder County Resource Conservation
Boulder County, Colo. – The Boulder County Resource Conservation Division has allocated $50,000 for its 2012 Community Outreach Program for local organizations looking to fund projects that focus on zero waste, reuse, recycling and composting.
Proposals must be received at the Resource Conservation office by Monday, Nov. 14. Project funding will commence in January.
A pre-proposal workshop will be held from 4-5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 18 at the Boulder County Recycling Center, 1901 63rd St. in Boulder. Attendance is highly recommended for new applicants but not required. Questions about the program and the application process will be answered, and other details provided.
Please contact Jessica Johnson at 720-564-2226 or jljohnson@bouldercounty.org to obtain an application and r more information.
The minimum funding amount available for a project is $1,000 with a maximum of $10,000. Local governments, nonprofit organizations, school districts, schools, private companies and individuals may apply as long as the scope of work is in Boulder County or the City and County of Broomfield, and insurance requirements are met.
With the adoption of Boulder County’s Zero Waste resolution and the Zero Waste Action Plan, the commencement of the single-stream collection and processing program, and curbside composting collection, there are opportunities to support these programs with new Community Outreach Program initiatives.
In addition to the programs supported in prior years, an emphasis on single-stream collections and education and/or zero waste programs (establishing collection of single-stream recyclables, organic materials, etc.) for residents, businesses and governmental buildings is encouraged. However, applications for programs that fall outside of this limited focus will continue to be accepted and considered.
