We're not expecting you to track down current addresses, though if you have them, it would be helpful. We would like to keep track of former graduate students and investigators (it's one way of showing our influence in the field) and that information will at least give us a starting point.</div><div>2) Year of thesis is expected for PhD students and investigators. It will be a private field (not displayed in the directory) that is used to keep track of early career investigators. It doesn't apply for Master's students and you can leave it blank.</div><div>3) The categories of full, partial, and no support apply either currently or at the last time the person was associated with your LTER site. So -- if a student received full support for a few years of their PhD work at an LTER site and they are now an associated investigator receiving partial support, you would choose partial support. It's not a perfect system, but it will at least help us to document that most "LTER investigators" actually receive little or no financial support.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks, </div><div>Marty</div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Feb 14, 2019 at 10:49 AM Henshaw, Donald <<a href="mailto:don.henshaw@oregonstate.edu" target="_blank">don.henshaw@oregonstate.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Marty,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m addressing the 40-year review personnel request (everyone else punted on this!). A couple of questions:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am assuming we only need institution and email addresses for current members. We do not keep track of former grad students or investigators who have moved on. Is this true?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was going through our theses list and assigning year of thesis to all LTER grad students going back 10 years. Should I assign the year of masters as well as PhD? The attribute is PhD year but I was putting the year of the masters thesis
in there as well. Is this appropriate?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For LTER support, Should I put “full” if they were only supported full-time for a year or two in the past 10 years? Or, how do I handle this? I don’t have access to knowing which years someone is supported but I probably know if they were
given full or partial support for some period of time. I also do not have access to temporary summer workers or REU’s that may have been supported and will not include them.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any help,<u></u><u></u></p>
