the addition of any scientist to be a FCE LTER Collaborator. You will
be notified by Evelyn Gaiser as to whether your request for membership
has been approved or rejected by the IEC.
What happens after you have been approved as a FCE LTER Collaborator?
After IEC approval, you will receive a formal letter of 'Welcome'
from Evelyn Gaiser, the program's Lead Principal Investigator.
This letter contains the specific requirements, limitations
and rights of newly added FCE LTER Collaborators and affiliated
Graduate Students. A copy of the FCE LTER Project Administration
& Management Guidelines and the FCE LTER Data Management Policies
will be included with your welcome letter.
