<p class="MsoNormal">Dear NHERI Awardees:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please join me in welcoming our NHERI
Network Coordination Office (NCO) award that was made
yesterday evening by NSF:

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The NCO PI is Julio Ramirez, and the
co-PIs are Antonio Bobet (Purdue University), Billy Edge
(North Carolina State University), JoAnn Browning (University
of Texas at San Antonio), and Delong Zuo (Texas Tech
University). The NCO will be setting up a meeting soon with
everyone to share their plans for the NCO.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, I will be following up with all the
EFs within the next two weeks to finalize year one Annual
Reports and year two funding, as NSF needs to obligate these
funds within the next few weeks (i.e., the reason for the
early submission of the Annual Reports). Please be
available to provide any further information I may need; thank
you for your assistance. <o:p></o:p></p>
