CORPORATE UNIVERSITY GRANT PROGRAM:
Our TFG will be accepting proposals from universities and consortia in the form of a two page proposal (8 1/2 x 11, 1 inch margins). The proposal can be in MS Word, PowerPoint, Visio, or Excel. Please see the schedule below for deadlines:

• University / Consortium Proposal Deadline - 09 October 2003

Universities and consortia can submit as many proposals as they wish, provided they are no more than two pages long. A total of $50,000 per TFG can be allotted for grants.
