Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Ongoing Funding: yes; New Funding: no
Date:
Jul 14, 2000

Comment:

An increase is anticipated in Personnel, Operations, and Travel costs. There is no change in the scope of work. An increase in the budget is due to cost of living allowances. Last year's budget was reduced due to budget restrictions. All FY 2000 tasks and objectives were supported by the SRT and the ISRP.
Recommendation:
Fund
Date:
Sep 13, 2000

Comment:

Rationale: Budget increase inappropriate in this review. Project has full balance of $50,000 uncontracted from 2000. Check ability to initiate.
