Awards will be determined based on 1) the degree to which the proposed activity will meet the objectives of Keeping Current, and 2) the cost of the activity. All applications should address how the proposed activities will achieve one or more of the specific objectives of the Keeping Current. In reviewing applications, priority will be given to requests that have an explicitly computational or quantitative focus. \n<br><br>\n<b>Faculty members who receive funding will be expected to provide a brief (<1 page), written summary of how their award was used, including a description of how the award supported the objectives of the fund. This summary should be submitted within one year of receiving the funds. <\/b>\n<br><br>\n<b>Application Process<\/b>\n<br><br>\nAll Vassar College science faculty members are encouraged to apply, regardless of rank or status (although, preference will be given to full-time continuing faculty). Applications should be submitted using the Keeping Current Application Form.\n<br><br>\n<b>There is a rolling deadline.<\/b> A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the applicant upon submission of the form. Applicants will be notified of the funding decisions within two weeks of submission. \n<br><br><\/li><li id=\"field_4_1\" class=\"gfield gfield--type-name gfield_contains_required field_sublabel_below
