	''The purpose of the Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) program is to stimulate research in educational institutions that provide baccalaureate or advanced degrees for a significant number of the Nation's research scientists, but that have not been major recipients of NIH support. AREA grants create opportunities for scientists and institutions otherwise unlikely to participate extensively in NIH research programs to contribute to the Nation's biomedical and behavioral research effort. AREA grants are intended to support small-scale research projects proposed by faculty members of eligible, domestic institutions, to expose undergraduate and/or graduate students to meritorious research projects, and to strengthen the research environment of the applicant institution.''

		+	===Monmouth College's Eligibility===
		+	The AREA program was brought the the attention of the chemistry department by Karen Bush Watts and Dan Watts during a recent alumni visit (Feb 2017). As summarizes above MC is the target institution for the R15 program. Three of the four chemistry faculty members work on research of NIH interests and it is possible that other MC science faculty might also be interested in being a co-PI or submitting a separate R15 proposal.
		+
		+	===Plan of Action===
		+	We propose to submit a proposal for the '''Oct 25th, 2017''' application deadline.
		+
		+	The submission of an R15 proposal will require efforts from both the administration and the faculty.
