The review of this award prompted the committee to consider providing positive feedback to faculty members, given that faculty members met all qualifications for this award.<\/p>\n<h3>Goal 3: Work to simplify bureaucratic excess within grants (e.g., long proposal with detailed budget for a small award).<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Progress:<\/strong> The committee will discuss this issue at their final meeting in April, 2023.
