NSF now has you write a short email stating "I support my involvement in the proposal as stated in the workplace” or something similar.

They have the hard job of creating a coordinated field program from 11 well reviewed, self contained science proposals. Thanx for your understanding, sacrifices and willingness to work together so together we can complete the community’s vision for EXPORTS. <o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">I’m sure have 1e6 questions (maybe 1e9?). To start the process of our working together, we would like to hold an initial EXPORTS Science Team telecom next Tuesday (July 25 - 1:00-2:30 ET / 10:00 to 11:30 am PT). Co-PIs are welcome to join the conversation too. If a project PI cannot make the telecom time slot, please ask one of your Co-PIs to cover for you. This is important.

To help prepare for the telecom, I will collect and collate relevant project information (see below). Please email me the following information by next Monday (Mon July 24). This can and should be kept short. I will distribute the collated information to all by Monday afternoon. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""> <br class=""> Lead PI / institutions:<br class=""> Project Title:<br class=""> CoPIs / institutions:<br class=""> Measurements to be made & from which ship:<br class=""> Equipment to be brought to sea:<br class=""> Known field requirements (vans, ship equipment, lab bench space, hoods, over the side time, sampling equipment, etc.):<o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""> Berthing guesstimate:<br class=""> Needed measurements from other groups: <br class=""> Which EXPORTS Science Questions does your project respond to best: <br class=""> What aspects of your inclusion on the EXPORTS Science team are you most excited about:<br class=""> <br class="">Hope this all makes sense and looking forward to your responses by Monday. <br class=""> <br class="">Best, Dave </div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">PS - The first EXPORTS Science Team meeting will be Sept 19-22 at the USRA facility just north of DC.
