• NSF finally approved the re-allocation for end-of-CA funds to be used for Tier-2 equipment.   As Fred noted, this is a necessary but insufficient step in that we also require the paperwork allowing us to get/spend the new funds ($1.7M/Tier-2).
  • John noted that we do not yet have our final 4 months of funding for FY26 and presumably, the assignment of those funds would be when we also get the end-of-CA funds.
• We have a procurement discussion coming up on Friday.   Plans are hosted in a Google drive:  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XPHgTxZ29QfK6o_p2vU0FuR1hjNTwBbx?usp=drive_link
