RIGs

PRiSM has identified key areas to focus on research grant funding. This new RIG structure will promote PRiSM initiated research and increase support among work groups.

If you are a PRiSM member (or would like to become one) and are interested in joining one of these Research Interest Groups, please log in to the Members Only and fill out the form under the RIG section.

Volunteers are asked to make a three year commitment to the group, participate in at least 66% of meetings (held via conference call every 3 months and on-site at the Annual Meeting).
