The research being carried out by Department of Physics faculty continues to be of very high quality. One measure of this quality is the number of grants and contracts awarded each year and the dollar amount of these awards. Most faculty have some grant or contract support and maintain it on a continuous basis. Since the last newsletter, 18 faculty members have been awarded 32 new grants or contracts totaling more than $2.1M! This amount is fantastic in these times of tight budgets for the granting agencies. Many of these awards are for collaborative projects, both within the department and with colleagues in other departments. If readers would like to have a flavor of the research being conducted in the department, a list of the grants obtained by Physics faculty since the last newsletter is available on request It also will be posted on the Web, along with a Web version of this newsletter.
