Keck Northeast Astronomy Consortium

Information for faculty

The NSF grant was renewed in 2007 for three years. The grant number is AST-0647325.

New as of 2008: All reimbursement should be through your home institution

All reimbursements from KNAC funds should be treated just like any other expense incurred (e.g. travel to a meeting funded by your own research grant): You should request reimbursement through your own department/institution, and charge the expense to a fund earmarked for KNAC expenses. Your institution should then invoice KNAC through Linda at Wesleyan:

Linda Shettleworth
Astronomy Department
Wesleyan University
Middletown, CT 06459

Each KNAC school should have a fund already set up (e.g. to pay students), but if not, such a fund should be set up. Note that this is how grant money is generally administered (your home institution reimburses you out of a fund that is periodically replenished by invoicing the granting agency). Feel free to get in touch with Linda if you have any questions. Thanks.
