Herzog Science, Mathematics, and
Technology Center
This Center acts as an umbrella
organization for collaborative interdisciplinary mathematics-based research and
education efforts among faculty, students, industry and K-12 schools.
The Center supports the integration of research and education beyond the traditional disciplinary boundaries.
The Center's activities complement
the University's mission by
Initial organizational
structure for 2000-2003:
Director: Carol Shubin, Professor, Department of Mathematics
Academic Advisors and
Administrative Advisors formulate mathematics-based interdisciplinary research
or education projects. The director meets with the Administrative Advisors
annually and the Academic Advisors twice a semester. A six-member subset of the
advisory groups will form the Advisory Board.

How funds will be accrued,
accounted for and handled:
The Center seeks external
funding from such sources as the NSF, NIH, other government agencies and
private industry. The grant funds will be used for student stipends, faculty
release time and/or summer salary, consultant fees, and equipment and supplies necessary to
implement proposed projects, as stipulated in the grant proposals. In addition, both internal and external
(grant) monies will be sought for the development of interdisciplinary
mathematical seminars, interdisciplinary seminar series speakers, conferences
and conference travel, workshops, postdoctoral students and visitors. Surplus monies will be expended as
deemed appropriate by the director in accord with the stated mission of the
Center. External funds will be
administered by the Research and Sponsored Projects Office and the University
Corporation.
