Support may include funds for the acquisition of research data, for travel to professional meetings, and for other research-related outlays by the students.

This grant was made on the occasion of Dr. Joskow’s retirement as President of the Sloan Foundation and in tribute to his decade of service to the Foundation and its mission.
