  5. Project Execution • Weekly seminars, starting in Sept. (LONI Institute/LA-SiGMA). • Weekly “group meetings” among science driver focus area teams. • PET members will “meet” at least once a month. • Sub-committees of PET may meet more often. • PET will meet with the Project Director (Khonsari) at least once every two months. • Bi-Annual “All-Hands” meetings. One will be attended by the ERB. • Assessment will be an ongoing activity: • Initial survey to establish baseline (formative evaluation) - within the first 90 days, so as to “inform” the strategic plan. • Annual surveys to collect data on progress (diversity, workforce, external engagement, cyberinfrastructure, publications, collaborative proposals, ...) • Peer evaluations • Need 100% response rate on these surveys – cooperative agreement requires greater accountability.

  6. Additional Resources Jim Gershey’s table (handout) – Assumes a July 1 start date. An outline of the NSF report format is also available on the SVN. Need to establish a well-coordinated procedure for project reports (entered into LOGAN by staff at LSU and LA Tech with sufficient lead time for review by Project Director) WHO NEEDS AN SVN TUTORIAL?

  7. Budget details • A set of “policies” are being drafted and will be discussed by PET members; then circulated for discussion. • LA-SiGMA PI’s on each campus would be in charge of administering the budget on each campus: • LA Tech: Ramu Ramachandran • LSU: Mark Jarrell • SUBR: Diola Bagayoko • Tulane: Lawrence Pratt • UNO: Scott Whittenburg • Xavier: Cheryl Stevens • Expect postdocs to have a large impact – need to hire with coordination between SD and Computational teams. • When making plans for travel funds, • please don’t forget postdocs and students. • Also don’t forget the expenses of attending the bi-annual meetings.

  8. RII Philosophy • NSF budget is “seed funding” to be used for building inter-institutional teams. • We are to leverage LA-SiGMA collaborations to pursue additional multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional team funding. • Evidence of close collaborations and productivity through collaborations needed for a successful CEMRI or ERC application. • The ultimate goal of EPSCoR program is to make the State a non-EPSCoR state (“graduation”).
