he web site maintained by the Science Coalition, a public policy organization that supports federal science funding, will feature Columbia research on its rotating On Campus page the week of Nov. 10-17. The address is http://www.sciencecoalition.org.

  It will feature work by the Columbia Earth Institute, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Biosphere 2 Center, International Research Institute for Climate Prediction, Taub Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research and Columbia New Media Technology Center. The research publications Biomedical Frontiers and 21stC will be linked to the site, as will the Columbia Innovation Enterprise.

  "Federal funding results in dramatic scientific advances," said Ellen S. Smith, assistant vice president and director of federal relations. "Having Columbia research on the Science Coalition site is another way of demonstrating that simple fact."

  Columbia and 11 other universities founded the Science Coalition in 1994. Its goal is to maintain university-based research as a top national priority. The organization's membership includes 413 science and medical societies, corporations and Nobel Prize winners and 62 public and private universities.
