Proposals are due Nov. 7 and should be submitted jointly by the student and a faculty member. Funds can be used for materials and supplies, research-related travel, and costs incurred in the presentation of research or creative activities. While the focus of the series is giving graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and junior faculty a chance to present their work in an informal setting, speaking at or attending the seminars is open to all. Neurolunches take place from noon-1 p.m. Mondays in the Bonney Research Laboratory conference room at the Herklotz Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory. Coffee, soft drinks and snacks are provided, and guests may bring brown bag lunches.

Working with UC on the project are the California State Library, the California Library Association and the California Library Services Board. The charter collection in the new virtual library will center on science, technology and industry. Although the library's initial focus will be to serve the information needs of UC's 167,000 students and 7,000 faculty members, part of the mission is to build partnerships with other public and private libraries to help deliver information to all Californians. UCI's Chemistry Department is among the nation's leaders in training organic synthetic chemists, whose work helps the pharmaceutical industry develop new drug therapies.
