Title: Dear Colleague Letter - Discovery Corps Fellowships Program
       - Updated January 2008
Date: 02/06/08



Dear Colleague,



For FY2004-2007, the NSF Division of Chemistry has offered the
"Discovery Corps Fellowships Program", DCF. This pilot
program sought new postdoctoral and professional development models
that combined research with service-oriented projects.

Due to funding constraints, the Division of Chemistry has decided to
not offer the Discovery Corps Fellowships Program in FY2008. We will
continue our assessment of this unique program and make decisions
about FY2009 at a later date. If offered in FY2009, the DCF Program
will likely be refocused to projects that combine chemistry research
with dissemination of the value of chemistry to the public.



Sincerely,

Luis Echegoyen

Director, Division of Chemistry, NSF
