Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
The panel felt that this proposal, which would provide educators and other public with an electronic atlas of the Columbia Basin watershed system, is not innovative in the sense required by the RFP. Although the proposal outlines a plan, via a series of workshops, to define a product, and subsequently to test it in classrooms, it does not indicate how the final product would be distributed. More importantly, it simply isn't clear that the project would have enough benefits to FWP to justify funding. Furthermore, there are some technical questions as to the source of the data (why is 1 m resolution satellite data necessary, and what would the source be?? – the only imagery of which the panel is aware at this resolution comes from classified sources. Perhaps the proposer means 1 km, at which resolution many land cover products are available?). Finally, the duration of the project isn't specified, nor is the source of funding that would be needed to maintain the product beyond the project period. The panel noted double counting in the cost-share calculation where a value is placed on the use of the final product in classrooms.Comment:
