New Activities: more students!
Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU): Proposal for a REU supplement from NSF to support 10 to
20 undergraduate students doing grid-related research during semesters or summer at several GriPhyN/iVDGL Institutions. In order to achieve this goal we need to know:» Mentors» Research Projects» Selection Procedures» Budgets
Interested mentoring Institutions: 1. Florida U (Paul Avery), 2. Indiana U (James Williams, John Hicks), 3. Fermilab (Ruth Pordes), 4. Chicago (Ian Foster, Tom Garritano), 5. UW Milwaukee (Bruce Allen), 6. UT Brownsville (Manuela Campanelli).
At least 2 students per Institution!
Spring 2003 goal!
E/O Collaboration Effort!

New Activities: more linux clusters!
• UTB:» A new NASA URC at UTB will give funds for a new 64-node
Linux cluster. More students involved with grid-related research and possible connection with NASA grid effort.
• SKC:» New 32-node Linux iVDGL cluster involving several CS and
Physics professors and undergraduate students. Tim Olson plans to visit UTB in spring 2003.
• HU:» A 4-node iVDGL Linux cluster has been constructed by
several CS and physics undergraduate students. Keith Baker will organize a new E/O meeting in spring 2003.
