Select one faculty representative to the Theodore Dreiser Distinguished Research and Creativity Award Committee. Response: Aruna Chandra was selected to serve as the AEC representative on the Theodore Dresier Distinguished Research and Creativity Awards Committee. 2. Report annually on requests for and disbursement of funds. Response: See Proposals Funded of this report (above). 3. Follow up on past grants. Determine a mechanism to assure that funded projects are carried out. Response: During the course of our meetings it was determined that a reminder letter be sent out to the grant recipients before the completion of the project to assure that the final report be filed. It was also determined that an amnesty letter be sent to past grant recipients (whenever possible). This letter was drafted by Fran Lattanzio and edited by the committee. Dawn Underwood of the Office of Sponsored Submitted spreadsheets with the names of past grant recipients who had not filed final reports to assist in this process. The committee also feels that, to further encourage the reporting process, a possible University publication be produced that would highlight the completed work of the AEC grant recipients over the past ten years. 4. Forward any additions or modifications to policies and procedures to the Senate Office. Response: Although additions and modifications to policies and procedures were discussed during the course of our meetings, such changes were not finalized and did not warrant being sent to the Senate Office.
