> allowed per unit.  If you would like to submit through the BNC,  
> please send a white paper to me (format outlined below) by COB on

> The following text is from the “Call for White Papers” issued by the  
> OVPR:
>
> The following are desirable features of Washington projects that  
> will be used to prioritize projects
> to be advanced to our congressional delegation.
>
> ·      Has the potential to generate sufficient congressional  
> support in the House and Senate and within the Indiana delegation;
> ·      Addresses high priority societal needs and enhances economic  
> competitiveness (additional information below);
> ·      Is multidisciplinary involving multiple Departments and/or  
> Colleges/Schools/Units;
> ·      Involves active partnership with industry and/or other  
> universities;
> ·      Provides research support in a core/strategic area of  
> University (the project is considered a high priority for your  
> Campus, School, College, or Unit); and
> ·      Strong potential to grow into a long-term project supported  
> by competitively awarded external funding.
>
> It is our intent to establish greater recognition of areas of Purdue  
> expertise that may receive support from several members of the  
> Indiana congressional delegation (thus perhaps resulting in larger  
> commitments for individual projects) and to establish strategic  
> directions for those areas where Purdue resources can be most  
> effectively employed on behalf of state or national priorities.  
> Purdue’s priorities are clearly aligned with the priorities noted in  
> White House executive memoranda (see M-09-27 at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoranda_default/) 
> .
>
> Priorities for FY11 congressional initiatives are:
> ·      Energy, environment, climate change, and sustainability –  
> particularly renewable energy sources, climate change and carbon  
> sequestration;
> ·      Life and health sciences – particularly clinical and  
> translational sciences;
> ·      Security, defense and space sciences – particularly systems  
> for unconventional conflicts;
> ·      Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)  
> Education  - including K-12 and student performance; and
> ·      Global policy topics related to the above topics –  
> particularly to inform and improve policymaking.
