Call for Research Subcommittee Proposals

After being active for several years the two research subcommittees sponsored by TSOP are nearing completion of their work. The Research Committee is therefore calling for proposals for new subcommittees. Sponsorship by TSOP of a research proposal has advantages. Among them are the following: 1) having an international network of colleagues to consult and assist 2) the potential to receive grants from TSOP of up to $1000 US per year to pursue the research and 3) the prestige of having one's project officially sponsored by an international scientific society.

Starting a Research Subcommittee

Starting a Research Subcommittee is a straightforward process. New subcommittees may be initiated at any time. A proposal is submitted to the Research Committee Chairman using the form provided for that purpose. With the endorsement of the Research Committee Chairman, the proposal is submitted to Council for approval at its mid-year or annual meetings. Monetary grants ($1000 US per year) are available through Council to pursue subcommittee activities. A subcommittee chairman will be nominated by the Research Committee Chairman (generally the principal investigator) and approved by Council. A subcommittee is discontinued when there has been no activity for two years. There is presently no limit on the number of years a subcommittee may exist as long as there is progress on the research.
