PEET Third Competition Announcement

[James E. Rodman]

from U.S. National Science Foundation,
Third Special Competition in Systematic Biology,
PEET: Partnerships for Enhancing Expertise in Taxonomy

The announcement for the third PEET special competition is now
posted on the NSF website, at
www.nsf.gov/pubs/1999/nsf9915/nsf9915.htm
or, you can go to the NSF Homepage (www.nsf.gov) and click on
"Documents" and then specify document NSF 99-15 in the section that
accepts that, and pass through a couple screens where Systematic
Biology may or may not be spelled correctly (by the computer mavens
at NSF), finally to get to the announcement itself (where
Systematic Biology is spelled correctly).
     Background material on the PEET activity and on taxonomic
monography is also available through the PEET Homepage maintained
at the University of Kansas Natural History Museum, at
www.nhm.ukans.edu/~peet
but they have not yet had time to establish a link to the new NSF
PEET annoucement.
     Please pass this information on to colleagues and others who
may be interested in the goals addressed by the PEET activity:
taxonomic monography; training of new taxonomic experts; and
computerization of taxonomic tasks and products.
     The deadline for submission of PEET proposals is March 1,
1999.
