In order to better recognize the outstanding research conducted by the personnel and affiliated faculty of GRI, we are pleased to announce the initiation of the Annual GRI Awards Program. The 2006-2007 academic year has been outstanding for GRI. Some of the many successes include our winning the NOAA-funded Northern Gulf Institute, a number of winning proposals to the NASA Applied Sciences program, and new funding lines through Oak Ridge National Laboratories. The many successes of GRI can easily be attributed to the hard work of the GRI faculty, staff, and students.

     - Graduate Research Assistant of the Year
     - Research Associate of the Year
     - Research Professor of the Year
     - Academic Professor of the Year

A ceremony is being planned for the afternoon of May 4, 2007, where the winners of the Annual GRI Awards will be formally recognized, so please mark your calendars.
