14. ICS Research: 129 projects around the globe! ICS projects New sites in 2003-04

15. The good news: Four ICS Research Scientists are offered tenure-track faculty positions at other institutions: Assistant professors: U. North Carolina U. Montana Associate professor: San Diego State U. Full professor: U. Aberdeen Two other researchers depart: Caltech N. Carolina State U.

16. The bad news: These researchers left with >$1.2 M in new external funding

17. New funds transferred to other institutions
