Re: Another proposal (Jack Horner)

Hi Jeffrey, I know you are very busy, and although I have no idea whether you received my first meeting proposal, I'm sending a second version with far fewer people. I would like to bring the five senior people from Georgia, Susan Chapman (Clemson Univ.), who works on chicken tails, and Hans Larsson from McGill, for a total of 7 people to mix with our 4 here at two-day MSU, preliminarily meeting, for a (from now the Doodle poll) scheduled for October 24-25.

The reason for bringing five people from Georgia is that this group is proposing to do a bioinformatics-based approach using comparative gene expression profiling to identify likely targets and transgenic technologies to modify their expression and/or function in chicken embryos. this is really big, and a very important component for the success of this project.

Also, the post-dots I have working here at MSU have gotten the protocol to create transgenic quail, which we hope will work for most experiments.

All the best,

Jack

The budget would then be:

BUDGET

In-country airfare (Athens or Greenville): $600 x 6 = $3,600

Out of country (Montreal): $800 x 1 = $800

Hotel: $125 x 6 x 3 nights = $2,250 (one sets of people will share)

Meals: $50 x II x 2 = $1,100 (two lunches and two dinners would be catered)

$50 x 7 x 2 = $700 (meals for participants during travel to and from)

Transportation: $200 (transportation to and from the hotel and museum)

TOTAL: $8,650

The meeting will be held in the Seminar Room of the Museum of the Rockies on the Montana State University campus located at 600 West Kagy Blvd, Bozeman, Montana. The tentative schedule for the event looks like this:

October 24th - 8:30 am : transport to the museum

9:00 am : tour of the museum and lab facilities
