   c) Proposed budget for FY18
      - possible new initiatives:
          - In the 2014 NSERC application for the CINP MRS grant, we 
            proposed a $9k/year graduate and PDF travel support program 
            to summer schools that was not funded. One possibility would 
            be a reduced version of this program.
          - An alternate possibility would be a program to help PDFs 
            present their work at conferences, to better position them for 
            permanent positions, or something along these lines. 
          - Other ideas??

   d) Undergraduate Research Scholarships (URS)
      - last year we funded 5 scholarships (5*$3600=$18.0k) and 1 travel 
        supplement (more typical number is 3).
      - supervisor required to supplement to a total stipend not less than
        $7600
      - last year's application deadline was Monday, March 6
      - need a motion to approve
      - need members for selection committee
