Red Sox - 200 020 060 - 10 13 3On the 91st anniversary of Dutch Leonard's no-hitter against the Tigers in Detroit, Josh Beckett was well on his way to duplicating Leonard's 1918 feat.
Tigers - 000 000 050 - 5 3 1
He was seven outs away when Curtis Granderson lined a clean single to right field. Beckett finished the inning with a strike out ... and then things got a wee bit crazy.
A total of 11 runs were scored in the eighth inning. David Ortiz and Jason Varitek banged consecutive two-run doubles in the top half, then Boston committed three infield errors so all five of Detroit's runs -- three of which scored on a Granderson triple off Daniel Bard -- were unearned.
An injury to Kevin Youkilis and Mike Lowell's ejection meant the Sox went into the bottom of the ninth with an infield of Nick Green at 3B, Julio Lugo at SS, Dustin Pedroia at 2B and Mark Kotsay at 1B. Takashi Saito loaded the bases in the ninth, but escaped without allowing a run.
The Rangers beat the Yankees 4-2, so Boston and New York are once again tied for first place at 31-22.
Josh Beckett (4.60, 105 ERA+) / Armando Galarraga (5.50, 84 ERA+)
Josh Beckett made five starts in May:
I would like to see that continue.34 innings, 28 hits, 12 walks, 28 strikeouts
2.38 ERA, Opponents hit .222/.293/.341
Jacoby Ellsbury, on his low walk totals:
Everybody talks about you need to walk more, but in order to walk more, they have to throw you balls. A lot of these teams, when you're fast, they don't want to throw you balls. They're going to pound the zone before they're going to try to nibble at the corners. ...Do fast guys draw fewer walks? I have no idea, but SoSHer SoxScout notes:
As a fast player, as a leadoff guy, they're not going to pitch around me. It makes it tough to walk. If you go up trying to walk you get down in the count. If the pitch is there you have to be swinging at it. You can't be taking (good) pitches just to walk.
Going down the SB leaderboard, it takes to #37, Cesar Izturis, to find a worse walk rate than Ells' 4%.While some of what Ellsbury says makes me absolutely cringe -- "You can't be taking (good) pitches just to walk" -- as if batters go to the plate planning to walk -- he does make a bit of sense.
He knows he doesn't have a lot of power, so most pitchers will not nibble. They are likely to challenge him with fastballs -- and he has seen fastballs almost 70% of the time this year. If he slugged more, pitchers might be willing to concede a walk rather than a double or a dong. Ellsbury, though, will have to earn any walk he gets.
His current OBP of .342 is only a tad below his career mark of .345 -- in close to 1,000 plate appearances. This may be the player he is -- and the criticism of him may come from unrealistic expectations after his amazing finish in 2007.
Here are his 2009 splits:
PA AVG OBP SLG SB CSSheesh, even his running game suffers against lefties. Rocco Baldelli has played only two games in center field this season, usually filling in for J.D. Drew in right. If Baldy's knee is feeling okay, it would be nice to see him in center field against lefties -- like, say, Dontrelle Willis on Thursday afternoon.
vs RHP 158 .338 .373 .426 17 2
vs LHP 74 .232 .274 .261 5 4
Also: Hideki Okajima has the longest scoreless-innings streak on the team this season. It is currently at 15.2, two outs better than Ramon Ramirez's run of 15 earlier this year.

At a local Republican event Saturday, state Sen. Kirk Dillard, voiced his belief that the state legislature should not focus on social issues, but should focus on the state's financial woes.
A Western Illinois University alumnus, Dillard, R-Hinsdale, spoke at the McDonough County Republican Lincoln Day Dinner Saturday night at the University Union. He said the state legislature's priority should not be on "superfluous issues" such as gun control and gay marriage, but on the state's current budget crisis.
"The legislature should do nothing else other than focus on the state's biggest problem, which is solving the pension crisis and also making the state a place that businesses will grow and expand," Dillard said, adding that the legislature, which is on vacation for a couple of weeks, should never have left Springfield.
In terms of pension reform that he would actually support, Dillard said he will "support any pension plan that works actuarially."
"We only get one bite at the apple, so whatever we do has to be significant enough to get the state its credit rating back," he said.
Aside from the state's pension woes, Dillard cited the state's regulatory process in regard to business as the other primary challenge Illinois faces.
"Illinois needs to have its regulatory process for businesses work at the speed of businesses not at the speed of government," he said.
The best way for the state to attract new businesses, Dillard said, is to convert communities that focused on manufacturing, such as Joliet, Bolingbrook and Galesburg, into communities with distribution-based economies.
"One of the things Illinois does have going for us is we do have a diverse economy," he said. "Agriculture is our No. 1 job creator — it's a quarter of all jobs. But Illinois needs to use its geographic location and good infrastructure to our advantage."
One industry that Dillard said could bring "thousands of jobs" to downstate Illinois is fracking, the technique through which fluids are used to release petroleum or natural gas from fractures in rock layers.
"If done safely and properly, Illinois absolutely should allow franking," he said. "Look at what its done for the economy in North Dakota. It's been a boom industry. The potential in southeastern Illinois for thousands of jobs … is enormous".
Dillard acknowledged that there are environmental concerns in regard to fracking, but he said he feels those concerns "can be overcome."
Running for governor in 2014
On Saturday, Dillard described himself as a "suburbanite with strong downstate roots," adding that because of this, he feels he is the only Republican candidate who will be able to win a statewide race for governor.
Dillard lost the Republican nomination for governor in 2010 to Sen. Bill Brady, R- Bloomington, by a margin of 193 votes.
"Last time there were five people from DuPage county running," he said. " If any of the five were not there he would have won pretty handily."
Although Dillard has not yet formally announced his intention to run, he said he plans to do so when the legislature "goes home officially."

If you skip out on winter running, you'll miss a chance to go where few tend to tread.
"I hate the cold," says a long-time friend and runner. "I hate it." Nothing like sugar coating it, eh. And I have to admit, there's not a lot to like about it. Cold is cold. And then there's the darkness. Add some snow, wind, sleet or even ice and whatever fun was left has been summarily pitched out the frosty windows.
But skip out on winter running and miss a chance to go where few tend to tread. You'll experience what few want to experience. Back in the mid 80s, my college cross country team would end our season with a 5-mile race held in Williamsport, Pa., appropriately entitled "The Frostbite 5." My senior year, we won every age group award 15-19 and 20-24; ten in all. That day it snowed. It snowed a lot. It was so cold and so snowy that the usual field of 600 runners was whittled down to about 350 or so. To say "an experience" is a massive understatement. Those guys bring up that race every time we chat.
Two categories of runners
Runners tend to fall into two categories; the first are the 12-month a year runners who will get out almost no matter what. Many will accept the challenges of extreme weather (very hot, very wet, very cold) with either a "eh" or a "bring it on" approach. The second category, though equally committed, is less accepting of those weather extremes and challenges. Whether it is due to comfort or safety, they don't head out the door. If they work out at all, it's at the local gym.
I can espouse a million reasons why the first category of runners heads out the door when the wind chill is 12 degrees below zero, but unless you have experienced it, the concept is really unfathomable. I can also understand why the second category either cuddles up with a hot cocoa and skips it or finds the closest treadmill for their daily 5. That group is probably easier for most to figure out and identify with.
Challenge and accomplishment
Running is about challenge and accomplishment. If you run, you do so for some intended purpose. I love to race. It is primary to all of my other reasons for running. And training on a snow-swept Route 72 during one of our 17 blizzards a few winters back gave me a sense of strength and resolve that carried me through a very successful year of racing. Think of it as base training on steroids.
Today's marketplace provides all of the necessary tools to be able to head out the door and run fairly safely and comfortably on "those days." From hats with lights built into the bills to cramp-ons for snow shoeing, winter running can be invigorating. Winter racing adds an extra challenge that will give you a sense of accomplishment like no other. Add a running partner and you'll have all sorts of stories to share for years.
Each of us has a comfort level. It's that point at which we feel both within control and not suffering. Winter running takes away a good deal of both. But stretching your level of comfort can pay big dividends down the road. Missing one run does no one any harm, but by challenging yourself to get out (at LEAST to that treadmill) will add an inner fortitude for your future running, or other "uncomfortable" moments. "Hey, remember that snowstorm three years ago? GREAT 12-miler!" Of course, safety is always paramount to this insanity. Nothing should override that.
My college coach was a very wise coach. "Everyone runs the same course on the same day in the same conditions. The key is to mind it less than your competitors." In other words, you don't have to like it but you have to hate it less than the guy or gal next to you. And as most runners would say, a run on a terrible day is better than no run at all.
So go get cold. It'll make you feel warm all over.
Former Lock Haven University stand-out runner Andy Shearer is the Middletown Athletic Club secretary/treasurer. Shearer has been running since 1978. His column "runs" the first week of each month.

New England Contractors Honored With "Cool Smart" Awards
The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) honored eight New England contractors this fall at the organization's annual golf tournament in Stow, Mass., sponsored by the Massachusetts/Rhode Island COOL SMART program. The winners received awards for excellence in the quality installation of energy efficient air conditioning systems in 2012. The contractors, who specialize in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), were honored for their contributions to the COOL SMART program. The tournament drew more than 100 participants throughout the region.
COOL SMART is a high efficiency air conditioning rebate program for residential customers of National Grid, NSTAR Electric, Unitil, Western Massachusetts Electric Company and Cape Light Compact. These organizations sponsor the awards and the tournament to recognize contractors in Massachusetts and Rhode Island for outstanding service and an ongoing commitment to energy efficiency. The COOL SMART program was launched in 2004 and promotes the purchase and verified quality installation of ENERGY STAR-qualified central air conditioning systems. The awards are based on leadership, quality installations, and active program participation.
First place award recipients from Massachusetts are as follows:
- Central Cooling & Heating - Woburn (three awards)
- Central MA Mechanical - Shrewsbury
- Climate Concepts - Taunton
- Dustbusters - Springfield
- Thai Sheet Metal - Kingston
Top Rhode Island winners are:
- CARJON Air Conditioning and Heating - Smithfield
- National Refrigeration - Warwick
- Providence Mechanical - Smithfield
NSTAR Residential Program Manager Dick Moran has attended the ACCA tournament for years. He said, "We have more contractors participating in COOL SMART every year, so the competition is tough. The winners represent the best trade pros in the region and they are an inspiration to others. We appreciate their continued dedication to installing the highest quality energy efficient heating and cooling systems."
National Grid Residential Program Manager Rebecca Rundle attended the tournament for the first time this year. She said, "I am impressed by the skill and the commitment these contractors show to the quality installation of equipment. Congratulations to all of the winners. By installing a/c systems that use much less energy, they are doing a great service for the environment and helping their customers save money on energy bills."
Conservation Services Group, a Westborough, Mass.-based residential energy services firm, is the implementation contractor for COOL SMART on behalf of National Grid, NSTAR Electric, Western Massachusetts Electric Co., Unitil and Cape Light Compact.

Every city has historic landmarks that will always have a sentimental value. Just about any place you go, there will always be someone there who remembers how things use to be and look in the past compared to now.
Every city has historic landmarks that will always have a sentimental value.
Just about any place you go, there will always be someone there who remembers how things use to be and look in the past compared to now.
Martin Folse, owner of HTV 10, had this same feeling when he decided to buy and renovate the old Dupont Building in downtown Houma where he will move the TV station.
"It was closed up for 14 years. They had old boards on the windows. It was just in pretty bad shape. Every time I went in, I could sort of see what the building could be. There were a lot of people like myself whose parents shopped there. It just killed me to see it closed up," Folse said.
Folse said when the station moves into its new quarters, viewers shouldn't be inconvenienced much. And the station will be able to make some improvements.
"We should have a pretty seamless move. At the most, we would be down for probably six to eight hours, from midnight to 6 or 8 in the morning. That's at max. We may not be down at all. We will use a backup transmitter until we get the main one in," he said.
HTV 10's towers will remain on the east side of Houma and will broadcast its programing using an STL signal. This digital signal will be sent to the main antenna, which will then broadcast the signal everywhere else.
Viewers do not have to worry about a channel change. The news broadcast will remain on channel 10 for local viewers.
The company is excited about the move and has many plans for the new space.
"We are going to have much bigger sports sets. We are going to be able to do more audience shows because of the space. We will have bigger weather maps on green screens," Folse said.
He bought the building last year for $350,000, according to the Terrebonne Clerk of Court Office, but he wouldn't disclose the renovation costs.
In the beginning phases of construction, he ran into some problems with permits but said everything has since then been taking care of.
"That was really blown out of proportion in the beginning. I got an all-inclusive permit, and there was a misunderstanding with one of the area's residents. That was taken care of on the spot. I've been working well with Pat Gordon. It's been fine," Folse said.
Gordon is director of the Terrebonne Parish planning and zoning office. He said since the building is very old, Folse had to go through many channels to obtain permits.
Folse had to work with many state officials. Some officials he dealt with were the state Fire Marshal's Office and the Houma Downtown Development Commission.
"He brought it back to life again, and we are very appreciative of that," Gordon said. "It will be an anchor for our downtown. You can see the true lines of the original building."
There were many renovations that had to be done and still have to be done, Folse said.
"Structurally it was in good shape. I spent many days in there with a can of spray paint to mark off where certain offices will be. That led us to where we are now — trying to make it in to a beautiful building," he said.
Construction on the building has been going on for about 16 months. Folse said one of the biggest challenges in the beginning was securing everything that posed a threat before workers could start work.
"We had to have a structural engineer go through and check everything. We had to strip the old building first before we could do anything."
There was much damage to the ceiling. In some areas it was falling down. There were several water leaks that had to be fixed. There were air units and paneling that had to be removed.
Since then, workers have redone the paneling and applied insulation foam to the entire inside of the building. A metal roof is planned as a finishing touch. Workers are also installing a 6-inch slab on the inside and have redone and added piping.
"We are making good progress. I think we moved quicker than most. I'm very pleased," Folse said.
Folse uncovered many interesting things since the renovations. During the time workers were tearing down the paneling, they uncovered something unique.
"There were four brick archways that were nostalgic and had really grabbed me," he said. "Some bricks had damages, so we started replacing and salvaging what we could. It was probably one of the most fun projects that I did."
Folse goes to the building, which is seven minutes away from the current station on St. Charles Street, about four times a day. He said it's like a hobby of his to work on it, and he loves that kind of work.
"Another little nostalgic thing we found carved in on the wood was names of the carpenters that worked on the building. It's upstairs in an unstable area, but it's pretty neat to know someone's grandfather or uncle was up there."
Folse said there was an old safe left in there that he is going to put in his office as a keepsake item.
Besides the renovations, there will be some new features added to the building.
"There used to be a balcony way back in the day, so the balcony is coming back. We are in the process of building that. There is going to be parking in back, and we are going to build a wrought-iron fence around it for secure parking. We are going to restore the old fireplaces upstairs and are building a few apartments and living quarters for staff and their families during a hurricane," Folse said.
Folse hopes to start moving in some of the station's offices within the next four months, though the building will not be completely renovated.
Once the building is complete, Folse plans on having a grand opening for anyone who would like to take a tour. He knows the value it holds to many and would like to share that experience with them.
"A lot of people ask why I took this project on. It's not always about the project or about me but about something I could give back to the community. I mean I will benefit from it, but we are bringing the building back alive again, and it makes me proud, to be honest with you."
Folse said hundreds of people have stopped him to reminisce and tell him stories. He's had about five elderly people come in while he was there working and ask if they could have something in the building. He usually gives them a brick or piece of wood that was used in its original construction.
"One of them was 90 years old. She asked if she could have something. I told her I had a stack of old St. Joe brick, and she was tickled pink."
Folse, just like other people, appreciates the value of the building and what it meant to the community. He filmed what the entire building looked like before renovation so he could do a before-and-after film at the grand opening.

The Independence City Council will have two new members after Tuesday's elections.
Scott Roberson handily defeated Roxann Thorley, who the council last fall appointed to the seat in the 3rd District after the resignation of Myron Paris. Roberson got 2,795 votes (65.6 percent) to 1,458 (34.2 percent) for Thorley.
"I'm hoping I can make a difference for Independence in a positive way," Roberson said.
"I was honored to serve the people of Independence," Thorley said, "and wish the City Council the best of luck."
Two at-large council candidates ran unopposed. Incumbent Chris Whiting got 7,432 votes, and former Planning Commission Member Karen DeLuccie got 7,257 votes. Council Member Jim Schultz ran for mayor rather than his at-large seat; he lost to Council Member Eileen Weir.
The seven-member council will have a new look. Two members elected by district – Marcie Gragg in the 1st, Curt Dougherty in the 2nd – have two years remaining in their current terms. Roberson replaces Thorley, filling out the final two years of the term to which Paris was originally elected in 2012. Weir's election as mayor Tuesday creates a vacancy in the 4th District. Whiting stays on in an at-large seat, and DeLuccie takes the other. The mayor also has a vote on the council.
Roberson said among the first issues facing the new council will be the future of Independence Power & Light, the city-owned utility. IPL buys most of its power from outside sources, but it plans to close one old coal-fired plant within two years and convert the other to natural gas. Roberson said energy issues need a good deal of study.
"All that is going to be looked at very carefully," he said. "And the budget's going to have to be looked at carefully, too."
He said it's important to support the police and said the city should have more programs such as neighborhood watches.
Roberson said this was his first experience in politics, and he said some nasty things – untrue things, he said – were said about himself and his twin brother, Blake, who was elected to go back onto the Independence Board of Education on Tuesday.
"I'm sorry that my election got negative and some of that spilled over into his race," he said.
Whiting said he thinks the top issue facing the council in the months ahead will be public safety.
"I think that's No. 1," he said.
The city's public safety sales tax, helping to pay for police services, expires in 2016 unless the voters extend it, and officials will continue to look at what to put on the ballot, he said.
DeLuccie added, "If we have a forthright conversation and the need is there, I'll support it."
A second pressing concern, Whiting said, is economic development, and he said that encompasses issues such as public safety, the appearance of the city's various gateways and general neighborhood improvement.
Asked about the top issues facing the city, DeLuccie said, "It's finances all the way, and it's going to take someone who's willing to sit down and go through it."
She questioned the enterprise fund figure of $45 million for Independence Power and Light "because that's a big number," she said.
She said, among other things, she questions IPL funds being spent for the Independence Events Center, tourism funds being spent for the Events Center, and IPL money being spent for an economic development position.
"So I just question it all," she said.

Strategic Planning Update 9/30/2011
The Strategic Planning process, begun with a Board of Trustees retreat in June, is in full swing on campus with students, faculty, staff, and alumni involved in working groups on an aggressive timeline. A 24-member Steering Committee, co-chaired by David Lopatto, chair of the faculty, and Angela Voos, special assistant to the President, leads the working groups which are focused on idea generation and data collection for five key topics:
- Distinctiveness of Grinnell College
- Teaching and learning
- Enrollment
- Post-Graduation Success
- Alumni Engagement
Each working group will also consider how the specified topic can address eight cross-cutting themes important to the college community. The one-year timeline anticipates that working groups will submit ideas by the end of fall semester for budget, market testing and analysis in the spring.
Grinnellians on campus will receive regular updates via email, the Laurel Leaf, town hall meetings, and Pioneer Web; Grinnellians off-campus will receive periodic strategic planning updates via Grinnell News Online, the Loggia, and the Grinnell Magazine. Comments are welcomed via the Strategic Planning website, email strategic planning, or text 612-STRATGY (612-787-2849).

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The revenge the Buffs were seeking here has been served.
Tad Boyle hopes his young team understands Colorado's true mission at the Charleston Classic has not been accomplished yet.
The Buffs (3-0), coming off Friday's emotional win over No. 16 Baylor, will play Murray State in the championship game tonight at TD Arena (6:30 p.m., ESPN2).
"We'll find that out," Boyle said when asked if CU's players would be as excited to play the Racers of the Ohio Valley Conference as they were the Bears of the Big 12. "I don't know the answer to that right now."
Murray State is used to winning early and often.
Last season the Racers (3-0) won their first 23 games and beat Colorado State in the NCAA Tournament before the ride ended with a loss to Marquette.
Point guard Isaiah Canaan is an Associated Press preseason All-American. His backcourt mate, Stacy Wilson, scored 23 points during Friday's 72-67 win over St. John's in the semifinals.
Second-year head coach Steve Prohm, who starts four seniors and a junior, is 34-2 at Murray State.
And Boyle said Racers' forward Ed Daniel has athleticism and ability comparable to Andre Roberson and Xavier Johnson.
"I think they might be the best team we've played against since we've been here," Boyle said. "When you look at their roster you have a legitimate NBA player with Isaiah Canaan and three other seniors that start with him and a junior that is a pretty darn good player.
"We're running into an experienced team that won 31 games last year and knows how to win."
CU is also starting to get used to winning big under Boyle, who has guided the program to back-to-back 24-win campaigns.
Playing three high-level games at the Charleston Classic isn't as taxing or pressure-packed as what the Buffs accomplished at the Pac-12 Tournament in March when they had to win four games in as many nights to earn and NCAA Tournament berth.
The 2012-13 Buffs have already bought into Boyle's philosophy that no matter what happens -- including missing 14 free throws against Baylor -- this team can be in a position to beat anybody if it defends and rebounds at a championship level.
CU has held all three opponents to under 40 percent from the field this season and out-rebounded 7-fooot-1 Isaiah Austin and the Bears 41-40.
"I think we just have to play composed and just worry about what we can control," senior guard Sabatino Chen said. "Our defense will win us the game like it did last game."
The Racers, who toyed with Auburn in the opening round (79-59), are looking for their third consecutive win over a team from a power conference.
Murray State received 64 votes (27th) in last week's AP poll. CU received two votes in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll.
The winner of this championship bout will almost certainly be ranked on Monday.
"This is what we came down here to do," Spencer Dinwiddie said. "It's not like it's a big shock or surprise for us. We planned on doing this."

Cardinal Paul Cullen is one of the giants of Irish Catholic Church history. He was the first Irishman to be made a Cardinal and created the concept of papal infallibility. Cardinal Cullen was born in Prospect, Kildare most likely on 29 April 1803[1] and has a link to Paulstown through one of his grandparents.
Cardinal Cullen's mother was a woman by the name of Mary Maher.[2] While the Maher name has been evident in records concerning Paulstown for hundreds of years this is not where the link is. Mary Maher's parents were Patrick Maher and Catherine Moore.[3] Catherine Moore, Cardinal Cullen's maternal grandmother, was born in Paulstown.[4]
She has been described as "full of the ardour of true piety, and of that devotional zeal for which the faithful of Kilkenny have been at all times so remarkable".[5] As well as this it seems that Catherine Moore Maher was not easily scared or intimidated.
A story is told by Patrick Francis Moran, bishop of Ossory in the 1870s, where her son-in-law, Hugh Cullen (father of Cardinal Cullen) was made a prisoner and charged with aiding the 1798 rebels. Cullen was being transported and was denied the opportunity to have food or water. Catherine Moore Maher, ignoring the armed guards escorting Cullen, got up on the chaise he was being transported in, handed him a bottle of wine and said "cheer up my son, God will soon send you back victorious to us".[6]
It is always worth noting that Moore's birth information is taken from a secondary historical source which, unfortunately, does not reference any Church or civil record. As any good genealogist knows, primary sources are always preferable.
[1] Three different dates of birth are given in various publications. See p.208 of O'Carroll's 2008 publication Paul Cardinal Cullen for more details.

- Samples of Statements by Previous Awardees of Career Development Grants for Postdoctoral Women
- Past Winners of the Career Development Grants for Postdoctoral Women
- DONATE to the CDGPW Program Endowment
- List of CDGPW Donors
Career Development Grants for Postdoctoral Women are given to support the career development of the candidate by providing funds to travel to a meeting, visit another laboratory, take a course in a geographically distant place, or for other travel to advance the candidate's career. The grants will be awarded to enhance the careers of postdoctoral women with outstanding scientific accomplishments and potential for significant research in the area of microbiology. The fields covered by the award are any of those represented by Divisions of the American Society for Microbiology. Currently, three grants are given annually.
To be eligible to apply for this program, a woman scientist must hold a doctoral degree and have no more than five years of cumulative postdoctoral experience. Candidates must currently be performing postdoctoral work in microbiology, at an institution in the United States, in one of the aforementioned scientific areas. The candidate must be a member of ASM.
A cash award of $1,500 and a commemorative plaque will be presented. The cash award must be used within a year of its award.
Nomination Procedures
Nominations for the grant require the following:
- Candidate must complete a Candidate Statement which will describe her academic accomplishments, career goals and how the grant will be used. Candidates should include an explanation of how they think the planned use of the award (meeting, course, lab visit, etc.) will help their careers. The length of the statement may not exceed 3 pages, single-spaced.
- The candidate's CV may be any length and must be submitted with the Candidate Statement.
- A letter of support must be provided by a nominator, who should be the candidate's research project director, Department Chair, or Center Director. The nominator must be a member of ASM and may only support one candidate for this award per year. Nominators should include a statement in their nomination letters on how the planned use of the award (meeting, course, lab visit, etc.) will benefit the candidate's career objectives.
- A second Letter of Support from a scientist familiar with the candidate and her work must be submitted. The scientist drafting the Letter of Support does not have to be a member of ASM.
- Any candidate who wishes to use the award money to visit another scientist's laboratory must submit a letter from the laboratory indicating that the proposed visit is permissible.
- Any candidate who wishes to use the award money to attend a meeting or course must provide a detailed description of the conference/course, or a link to online information about the conference/course, or scanned material such as a flyer or course description that includes date/location, and other pertinent details.
- Candidate must complete and submit an "Application Cover Form." A blank form can be accessed here: CDGPW APPLICATION COVER FORM
Nomination Deadline
All submissions must be dated no later than February 1st. The Selection Committee will announce the winners by mid April.
Additional Nomination Information
- Candidates may be re-nominated as long as the nominee continues to meet eligibility criteria; however, women who have previously won the award are not eligible for a second award. No person shall be a nominator for more than one candidate in any given year. Once submitted, nomination materials become the property of the Selection Committee and will not be returned. Winners will be decided by a Selection Committee appointed by the Membership Board Chair. Career Development Grants for Postdoctoral Women are administered by the ASM Membership Services Department.
- Please note: In general, requests for funds to attend the ASM Microbe Meeting are not viewed favorably if the advisor has grants that would normally support attendance by people in his/her laboratory. Also, the career development activity should not be one for which the applicant's advisor is already funded.
Submit grant nomination materials (Candidate Statement, CV, Nomination letter, additional Letter of Support) by email to Shilpa Gadwal at firstname.lastname@example.com. All submissions must be dated no later than February 1st. The Selection Committee will announce the winners by mid April.
