Research Notes is a monthly publication of the Institute for Educational Research (IER) and will highlight grant announcements as well as report proposals submitted by College of Education faculty as well as those funded. This first issue however, covers the last six months (July-December, 2004). Information on proposals and funded projects is based on Internal Approval Forms (IAP) routinely submitted to the UK Office of Sponsored Projects (OSPA) through the College Grants Office. To ensure that Research Notes accurately reflects all College of Education faculty research activities, it is essential that Faith Cordray <faith.cordray@uky.edu> has a copy of IAF on file. Every effort has been made to make this listing as complete as possible. If we missed something, please call the IER so we can correct or include it in our web version.
