Service

From 1984 to 1988 Dr. Cushman served as the Director of the Indiana Water Resources Research Center.  His administrative responsibilities included 1) receive, disburse, account for and report on federal funds received; 2) administer and conduct research, investigations, technology transfer, and related activities as submitted to and approved by OWP; 3) provide an organized forum for the discussion and exchange of information among scholars and scientists; 4) provide the mechanism to promote the free and continuous exchange of information among teachers and workers, leaders of industry, agriculture, and private citizens and to encourage exchange of information between public and private research laboratories and state and federal agencies; 5) seek funding via proposals to industrial, state, and federal institutions.

Research Support

Historically, on average Dr. Cushman is sole PI on $300,000/year in competitive research grants and secondary PI on $50,000-$100,000/year.
