Hi;
I just found out today that this organization even exists. I just completed my dissertation including defense on Oct. 30, 2011. I think it has a good chance at winning the KORE award but I see that even discovering your site is way passed the submission deadline. Since this award is only given in even numbered years, the next time it’s offered it would be too long after the completion of my dissertation to submit it then. Is there any way at all I might be able to submit it this year?
Sincerely,
Shari Tarbet, PhD.
