[LTER-education] RET Supplements - Does your site plan to apply?

[Johnston, Cora Ann (caj2dr)]

If you want to join the RET supplements call, please mark your calendars for Monday December 16th at 2-3pm EST. I realize that not everyone has responded, but we have 9 participants available at that time, so I think it is best to ahead and let everyone save the date. If others can join us, please let me know so that I can add you to any subsequent emails. *I meant to mention this on the first email: if someone beyond the EOC list is the best contact person at your site for RETs, please pass this invitation along.*

To make the best use of our time, I will send out an agenda (and Zoom link) on Friday or Monday. If you have suggestions for points of discussion, please let me know.

Thanks!
Cora

Subject: RET Supplements - Does your site plan to apply?

If your site is planning to apply for an RET supplement for 2020 and beyond, you might be interested in joining an EOC call to discuss individual site plans/goals and possibilities for cross-site initiatives. I'm sending out a scheduling request now in the hope that the majority of us can find a time to meet before the holiday so that any emerging cross-site components can be incorporated into proposals due in January.
Here is a poll to help with scheduling: https://doodle.com/poll/9uvzcq8zn72y2nfv

Whether or not you can (or care to) attend the group call, there are RET application resources in the EOC google drive under Working Groups --> Research Experiences --> RET. The LTER report copy in that folder includes recommendations for strengthening RET program effectiveness (thanks to Steven McGee of LUQ for reminding us of this).

If we find a time that works for most interested sites, I'll schedule a Zoom and share the link.

Thanks!
Cora
