AAAS Resolution:
Extending Federal Funding for Research Institutions Affected by Hurricane Katrina
Whereas, Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent floods caused unprecedented disruption in research at Tulane University, Dillard University,Louisiana State University, Xavier University and other New Orleans institutions, and
Whereas, the faculty and administration of these institutions are working valiantly to re-establish their research capabilities; and
Whereas, specific faculty with federal research grants have been unable to complete experiments and grant proposals in time for renewal applications;
Be it therefore resolved by the Council that AAAS call upon the federal research agencies to grant an extraordinary extension of previous funding and renewal deadlines, as determined appropriate by the agencies after consultation with the affected institutions.
[Proposed by the Medical Sciences Section. Approved by the AAAS Council on February 20, 2006.]
