Can supplements be used to relocate students to other labs? What about coordination with the National Labs, such as Argonne?
Requests for supplements should be discussed with the NSF program officer and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The program officer may be aware of institutions and laboratories with available lab equipment and space that have indicated a willingness to serve as “hosts” during this period. The DOE website (www.doe.gov) has information on DOE activities to assist researchers impacted by Katrina including a visiting scientist activity at National Labs.
