table 1. PSERC's research funding process.
* Discussions at IAB meetings (in December of proposal year
1 and May of the proposal year).
* Summer workshop (typically in July of the proposal year) to
finalize the research solicitation.
* Proposals received in September for new projects in the
following year.
* Industry and academic reviews by early October.
* The Executive Committee and director send
recommendations to the IAB in early November.
* Industry makes final recommendations after proposal
presentations at the December meeting.
* Final review by the Executive Committee and a decision by
the director soon thereafter. Projects begin when funding is
available, typically in June of the proposal year +1.

fairness and decisiveness and not giving in to petty peeves of
researchers. and Dennis ray always being on top of things.
Managing the diverse group of world-class researchers of the
Pserc team is undoubtedly a very challenging task. Many
have not worked with each other before. hence, the success
of the Pserc leadership continuing with Vijay Vittal has
been very creditable and noteworthy!"

PSeRC Involvement in National
Power System Issues
Over the years, Pserc faculty have been actively involved with
industry on important issues facing the electric power grid.
a list of examples of this involvement is given in Table 2.
The consortium for electric reliability Technology
solutions (cerTs) was formed in 1999 in response to a
call from the U.s. congress to restart a federal transmission reliability r&D program to address emerging reliability issues associated with the nation's electric grid. It
was to research, develop, and commercialize new methods,
tools, and technologies to protect and enhance the reliability of the U.s. electric power system under the emerging
competitive electricity market structure. The members of
the consortium included industry, academia, and the U.s.
Department of energy's (DOe's) national laboratories. In
particular, Pserc agreed to join as the academic representative along with the electric Power Group representing
industry, with the lawrence Berkeley national laboratory,
the Oak ridge national laboratory, the Pacific northwest
national laboratory, and sandia national laboratories
as the laboratory component.
In april 2000, Bob Thomas signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on behalf of Pserc. This MOU documented the roles, responsibilities, and relationships among the
parties. shortly after its formation, cerTs was asked by the
DOe to participate in a power outage study team formed by
