Uh we have uh so um at Indies we have uh Michelle Rogers, who is a program officer from Si Cns. She's now a um science expert here at size. Um, So we Michelle, we introduce herself. You want to say, Hi! 20 00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:49.540 Michelle Rogers: Sure it all of a sudden decided to update zoom when I tried to doing 21 00:04:49.610 --> 00:05:05.619 Michelle Rogers: um. But Michelle Rogers Ah! As Sobria said, Um, I was a program officer and and Nsf. For two years, and now a science expert, so excited about the size and Msi, and looking forward to talking with all of you 22 00:05:06.270 --> 00:05:15.110 Subrata Acharya: wonderful, and we, the session is being recorded. So, Fred, I had a question. Can participants unmute themselves, 23 00:05:17.130 --> 00:05:21.399 Subrata Acharya: Fred, or as a Do you think participants can unmute themselves. 24 00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:35.650 MEM AV TECH | Asa DeShields: We're currently in a webinar format. So attendees are only ah in. Listen-only mode If you would like for attendees to be able to ask questions I can enable the raise hands, feature and temporarily I need them. 25 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:38.790 Subrata Acharya: Okay. So um! 26 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.620 Subrata Acharya: Would you be able to do that like? Maybe as we are answering the questions, 27 00:05:42.940 --> 00:05:44.190 Subrata Acharya: are you? 28 00:05:46.670 --> 00:05:47.990 MEM AV TECH | Asa DeShields: Yes, I can do that. 29 00:05:48.000 --> 00:06:05.860 Subrata Acharya: Thank you. So the first question Michelle was from Ah, when the question was, Our institution has an active size. Msi demonstration Project award as lead institution. Can we build another team and apply another size and a side demonstration track as the lead? 30 00:06:05.870 --> 00:06:12.519 Subrata Acharya: Not in this. So if you can take that question, and we can then go to the next Michelle. 31 00:06:14.130 --> 00:06:20.790 Michelle Rogers: I wasn't quite sure when you say they are, they have a size. Msi Demonstration Project. 32 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:21.750 Subrata Acharya: Yes, 33 00:06:21.880 --> 00:06:27.509 Michelle Rogers: so I believe, according to the solicitation, they can't have two in the same track. 34 00:06:27.590 --> 00:06:31.010 Subrata Acharya: They can participate. I don't think they can be the lead. 35 00:06:31.020 --> 00:06:36.990 Subrata Acharya: Yeah. So basically like, you know, not in the same track. 36 00:06:37.180 --> 00:06:46.610 Subrata Acharya: Yes, not in the same track. And again, if you have additional questions, please put it in as we figure out the unmute. 37 00:06:48.940 --> 00:06:55.690 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Yeah, And I also show some Faq questions in case where we're waiting for no questions. 38 00:06:55.700 --> 00:06:56.699 It's It's it. 39 00:06:56.710 --> 00:07:01.699 Subrata Acharya: Jen, you want to go ahead. Go with. Go through that. Maybe as we are waiting for questions. 40 00:07:01.860 --> 00:07:21.120 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Okay? Um. The first one is eligibility, right? What kind of the organization allowed to submit proposals. This has slice for me, she so she knows where I can't be that which is nice. So uh, okay, and uh any kind of universities uh 41 00:07:21.130 --> 00:07:34.580 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): two or four years college can apply. But we do have a limitation for the League institution. It cannot have any size, Research Grant 42 00:07:34.630 --> 00:07:36.929 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): within the last five years. 43 00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:38.990 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): So for twenty twenty, 44 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.739 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): so your previous one will be two thousand and eighteen bye, 45 00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:56.610 Michelle Rogers: and by by size funding we mean size, core. So that does not include all of the special programs that we have. So it doesn't include an eager 46 00:07:56.620 --> 00:08:06.740 Michelle Rogers: or a cri, or some sort of special um solicitation. This is size core funding over the last five years. 47 00:08:07.690 --> 00:08:20.589 Subrata Acharya: Okay, we thank you, Fred, And so for enabling the mute unmute we do have Keith's Gosha right? Please unmute and ask you a question. 48 00:08:23.910 --> 00:08:32.700 Kinnis Gosha: Okay, Um. Can you hear me? Yes. Okay. Just want to confirm. Does Does the eir program count as core. 49 00:08:32.909 --> 00:08:47.340 Kinnis Gosha: No, no, it does not so, and it's a size also. Eir is out of Oh, I it's a lot of accuracy that's out of o I A. It's not even though you were on a size panel. If you got funded under size 50 00:08:47.350 --> 00:08:55.890 Michelle Rogers: on the Hpc. You up the Hpc. You eir it's not considered. It's not funded by size, 51 00:08:56.810 --> 00:09:04.730 Kinnis Gosha: so it's not that cnn or like It's not. A yeah, it's a Oh, I a the office of integrated activities, 52 00:09:05.810 --> 00:09:08.890 Michelle Rogers: and I know It's hard to understand it from the outside, looking in. 53 00:09:08.900 --> 00:09:11.150 Kinnis Gosha: But you know 54 00:09:11.160 --> 00:09:14.089 Michelle Rogers: we are. So. We are looking specifically 55 00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:22.930 Michelle Rogers: under size, so that Cns Ccf or um Satsi is included. Um, 56 00:09:23.180 --> 00:09:25.810 Michelle Rogers: Those specific programs. 57 00:09:27.940 --> 00:09:29.310 Kinnis Gosha: That's why it 58 00:09:29.430 --> 00:09:36.090 Subrata Acharya: perfect. Thank you. We do have a question from Shaquille up there. You want to ask your question. 59 00:09:43.300 --> 00:09:46.320 Oh, we can re on a question. 60 00:09:48.960 --> 00:10:02.240 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Yes, we applied last year, and we have been talking about our pending proposal, so we discuss here. Now you shouldn't discuss your proposal yet. 61 00:10:02.590 --> 00:10:05.500 Subrata Acharya: So um! I think we can do it 62 00:10:05.780 --> 00:10:10.230 Subrata Acharya: one on one uh that will be better with the program offices. 63 00:10:10.540 --> 00:10:13.940 Subrata Acharya: Wonderful. The next question is, uh, 64 00:10:14.830 --> 00:10:27.270 Subrata Acharya: how is impact measured? This is Theo crowd. Great question. I have been in the Cs. Space as a student grad student for over a decade, and I have not seen any chambers 65 00:10:28.420 --> 00:10:35.110 Subrata Acharya: will let my co-program officers co-leads take a stab at it. 66 00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:37.430 Subrata Acharya: How is impact measured? 67 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:47.610 Subrata Acharya: Maybe we can stick to the size, Msi solicitation, and see how we intend for impact to be measured. Michelle, you want to start us up, 68 00:10:48.370 --> 00:10:56.590 Michelle Rogers: so you establish what it is that you think falls under the general criteria. 69 00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.680 Michelle Rogers: I am 70 00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:17.949 Michelle Rogers: intellectual merit and broader impacts. So you should be able to identify how you think you will measure impact. Now this solicitation is about is specifically about supporting the development of these institutions so 71 00:11:18.690 --> 00:11:21.189 Michelle Rogers: depending on which track you're in, 72 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:31.370 Michelle Rogers: you're looking. The The impact will be on whatever the one of those tracks. And I wanted to pull up those tracks which every one of those that you're looking to measure. 73 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.390 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Okay, let me go to the page page for the check. So 74 00:11:35.400 --> 00:11:42.890 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): yes, so, Theo, you might. You might be referring to, and you can add this if you want, you might be referring 75 00:11:42.900 --> 00:12:00.340 Michelle Rogers: broader impacts. Um! And and yes, that is, that is something that it does. Take a it's a longer timeframe, a time time horizon, I should say, to be able to demonstrate impact. But part of the reason why you've seen some emerging 76 00:12:00.350 --> 00:12:03.290 Michelle Rogers: types of different types of funding mechanisms 77 00:12:03.300 --> 00:12:04.579 Michelle Rogers: is that 78 00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:10.690 Michelle Rogers: being able to demonstrate impact is much more difficult than we think than people originally think. 79 00:12:12.470 --> 00:12:15.989 Michelle Rogers: So, Jen. Did you want to bring up the solicitation? 80 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:21.289 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): So I'm station, or this is a four or three categories. I thought, this is a 81 00:12:21.300 --> 00:12:21.790 Michelle Rogers: okay, 82 00:12:21.800 --> 00:12:26.920 Michelle Rogers: yeah, either way, either way, showing those categories 83 00:12:27.750 --> 00:12:29.090 Michelle Rogers: in thread. One 84 00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:48.809 Michelle Rogers: we're looking at the capacity building at that institution or those collection of institutions. So you need to be able to demonstrate in those institutions. How are you expanding the research capacity in thread. Number two. It's about what research are you demonstrating in this relationship that you're establishing 85 00:12:49.350 --> 00:12:50.690 Michelle Rogers: Thread Number three? 86 00:12:50.700 --> 00:13:05.659 Michelle Rogers: You're establishing partnerships that you that you may have started. They may in a baby in an infant stage, but you want to expand upon them. And so in those different threads we're looking at. How can we? How can you demonstrate 87 00:13:05.670 --> 00:13:22.400 Michelle Rogers: that you will have impact on those three different things? That's what size Msi is about to do? Is is aimed at doing, and it's aimed at doing it at minority-serving institutions, so those include, you know Hbc. Use Hsi and tribal colleges, 88 00:13:22.920 --> 00:13:27.390 Subrata Acharya: yes, and I think just the last thing I would like to add to this is like the 89 00:13:27.400 --> 00:13:41.029 Subrata Acharya: as program officers. We are not as conversant with your jurisdiction department with the needs of your uh institution uh, with the needs of your faculty, or even the needs of the lead. P. I. 90 00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:45.390 Subrata Acharya: So I think that fifteen pages, if you can justify the need. 91 00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:51.859 Subrata Acharya: Now we are not looking for like longer-term sustainability, but definitely the impact of how it 92 00:13:51.870 --> 00:14:12.119 Subrata Acharya: can affect research, capacity, building how it can affect curricular capacity building how it can affect collaborative capacity building, how it can impact broadening participation in the student base in the faculty base, and you don't have to do all of them. I'm just saying these are the things which have worked, and 93 00:14:12.130 --> 00:14:42.109 Subrata Acharya: uh and and if it is feasible to do in the timeline is something we also in uh discuss that. And if the budget is justified, so these are the things which uh please keep in mind. Um. And if if if you if you have, if you need one on one on a particular topic area, you want to see uh, we would be happy to do that. This program is in the third iteration. So it's a pretty new program. So you know, we definitely take your comments about. I have not seen changes, because we haven't not seen changes. 94 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:43.550 We anticipate 95 00:14:43.560 --> 00:15:03.590 Subrata Acharya: the current. Award groups are making those changes. Uh so uh you will have these slides uh after the Webinar. But if you look at the awards sizes and it's public data, you could see, like, you know, those jurisdictions have received those fundings, and Michelle. Maybe you can point us to fy twenty and twenty-one. How many awards we have funded, because that might 96 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.000 Subrata Acharya: lead it to 97 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:15.490 Subrata Acharya: some of the impact, because we depend heavily on the investigators and the institution to enable those change. We are the seed in that. 98 00:15:15.500 --> 00:15:25.190 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Thanks here for the question. And if you have further questions, please. Ah include it in the chat. Yeah, we have three more new questions. Do you want to answer this? 99 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:41.189 Subrata Acharya: Yes, let's take the next one. I have a question on eligibility. This is from as check Zoo. Please forgive me if I haven't read it right. The only size Four project my Institute received before has a starting date of 100 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:49.180 Subrata Acharya: September, the twentieth eighteen, and the project has ended after four years. Are we eligible to apply for this program? 101 00:15:49.530 --> 00:15:51.869 Subrata Acharya: The solicitation states that 102 00:15:51.990 --> 00:15:53.590 Subrata Acharya: within the five years 103 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:54.290 Michelle Rogers: you 104 00:15:54.300 --> 00:16:06.040 Subrata Acharya: so Ah, technically, if there is no no first extensions, if there is, you need to verify with Nsfdga to make sure that the end date is correct. 105 00:16:06.050 --> 00:16:22.789 Subrata Acharya: Um! We have allowed proposals, and i'm talking about other programs where we let it review, and then, if the eligibility is meant. What can be done so that five Year meeting is something you need to make sure it's verified. Michelle, You want to jump in, and then, Jen, you also, Michelle, 106 00:16:24.280 --> 00:16:30.789 Michelle Rogers: sure that is you. That's the answer that I was gonna give. You just need to check with Dga 107 00:16:30.850 --> 00:16:38.309 Michelle Rogers: that because this deadline is February that they consider the 108 00:16:38.350 --> 00:16:43.160 Michelle Rogers: the five years to have been surpassed. 109 00:16:44.810 --> 00:16:53.589 Michelle Rogers: So that that is a Dga question, because, even though so, you are, you submitting before you. 110 00:16:53.600 --> 00:17:02.449 Michelle Rogers: Technically, five years have have surpassed, but because five five years have gone by 111 00:17:02.570 --> 00:17:09.640 Michelle Rogers: we're not to September. If your end date is September, the first two thousand and twenty three 112 00:17:09.650 --> 00:17:15.560 Michelle Rogers: may say that it's five years have has not passed, so that's a question that you would take to them. 113 00:17:15.760 --> 00:17:19.589 Subrata Acharya: I always remember the start date you put on your projects. 114 00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:23.290 Subrata Acharya: Yeah, is the date which the Vga would verify for a giant. 115 00:17:23.300 --> 00:17:34.350 Subrata Acharya: But if you have still questions, Nsf. Dga, you know, would be the best person to make sure, because they do that last compliance. If the proposal rises to that, uh, you know, recommendation level, 116 00:17:34.520 --> 00:17:36.010 Subrata Acharya: you are. Jen. 117 00:17:36.150 --> 00:17:39.989 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Uh, yes, I think you all I saw that correctly. Yes, 118 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:56.340 Subrata Acharya: perfect. Thank you. Uh, there is a question about. Could you elaborate more on thread? Three prior success via collaborative projects means success in thread. One and three, two, or just having projects and publications together will qualify. 119 00:17:56.860 --> 00:18:00.220 Michelle Rogers: Yes, you you. This is only this is 120 00:18:00.280 --> 00:18:01.980 Michelle Rogers: as Um 121 00:18:02.010 --> 00:18:19.130 Michelle Rogers: Sabrata has mentioned. This is only the third year that this program is being run. So there's not a lot of institutions that would have success because of us. So if you read completely, I wanted to get the actual text. 122 00:18:19.140 --> 00:18:23.799 Michelle Rogers: Um, we're looking for relationships that you will be building building upon. 123 00:18:26.800 --> 00:18:29.000 Michelle Rogers: I want to get the actual 124 00:18:29.020 --> 00:18:32.790 Michelle Rogers: text, but someone else can go ahead and answer until I get there. 125 00:18:32.800 --> 00:18:44.639 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Okay, Um, yes. Um. So basically what she's saying is that as long as you have existing collaboration, that's fine. It doesn't have to be within this program. 126 00:18:44.650 --> 00:18:45.660 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): He's, 127 00:18:47.470 --> 00:19:01.609 Subrata Acharya: and always like you know, the question try? A question was also about the impact, right? In fact, it's measured, based on like where you are. So I We would think that investigators would be the best person to 128 00:19:01.620 --> 00:19:09.760 Subrata Acharya: to, to, to assess or present a potential impact. And then the reviewers who come in has, 129 00:19:09.770 --> 00:19:35.690 Subrata Acharya: as as panelists, would be the best person to review. Um. So we we. We rely heavily on your uh expertise. But if you want to see something which has been successful, I was with regards to the back. Um public award search is a great idea. You can search for those awards and see the abstracts to see. We know what has been awarded, and what has been awarded in a particular um area. So that that is a good 130 00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:36.990 Subrata Acharya: you're going to. 131 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:50.209 Michelle Rogers: So the solicitation highlights that you should have demonstrated prior success via collaborative projects. It doesn't say this solicitation. It just says collaborative projects, 132 00:19:50.220 --> 00:20:03.390 Michelle Rogers: and you should be able to describe how this funding that you're asking for will result in a large-scale transformative impact. V. Of this partnership So if you're going for thread three, 133 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:15.249 Michelle Rogers: you're trying to demonstrate that bringing together. These five institutions will result in a much bigger and greater impact on our area of interest, 134 00:20:15.260 --> 00:20:27.730 Michelle Rogers: and that we can demonstrate that we've worked together before We've built some foundation together, and we can. We can use this funding to continue and build and broaden what we're doing. 135 00:20:28.620 --> 00:20:45.829 Subrata Acharya: Yep, And so any other additional questions as always, Please put them in to you. I'm not sure you were able to unmute yourself, but I see a question from you which is about 136 00:20:46.260 --> 00:21:14.760 Subrata Acharya: can. Getting a job in the space. Geometric apple and class chief is an example of the job market. Changing the usefulness of research. Um. Artificial intelligence is another example. Industry changes in landscape most quickly and yes, yes, yes, so um. So So impact can be uh education in can be workforce development. Impact can be a community engagement in that can be like an industry from outside. So 137 00:21:14.770 --> 00:21:32.580 Subrata Acharya: yes, to all of them. Uh, we are not prescriptive, and this is across the foundation. Um, J. And Michelle all will agree. But we definitely want to make sure that is it good for the institution? Is the institution going to benefit. And how is it going to leverage this taxpayer dollars, this funding 138 00:21:32.590 --> 00:21:39.290 Subrata Acharya: to apply for the next core, or to apply to come into the pipeline for the core. 139 00:21:39.300 --> 00:21:43.540 Subrata Acharya: Great Great suggestion. But you know what works best for the institution. 140 00:21:44.260 --> 00:21:46.709 Subrata Acharya: Next question is, 141 00:21:47.210 --> 00:22:00.689 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Can we do collaboratives with Tc. Use tribal colleges and universities? Hpc. Faculty for applying for this plan. Yes, and they must be believed 142 00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:12.680 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): so you can't write it. If you are a big R. One State school. You cannot write this grant and slap a Hispanic serving institution on, as in 143 00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:22.450 Michelle Rogers: I in name only, they have to take on the majority of the responsibility and the intellectual work 144 00:22:22.570 --> 00:22:28.699 Michelle Rogers: you are. If you are not an Msi, you have to come along as a support. 145 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:37.269 Michelle Rogers: You can be a co-pi. You can be a collaborator. You can do loads of things, but the Msi must be the lead 146 00:22:37.560 --> 00:22:44.730 Michelle Rogers: figuratively and actually they must be the lead. That also means they should get the majority of the funding. 147 00:22:44.870 --> 00:23:02.909 Subrata Acharya: Yes, and I think that is the whole idea to disseminate uh, diversify the portfolio. So I think, making sure that Sizes I where is the Msi Participation is uh, you know, is driving the project. Uh so um, I think the next one 148 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:14.289 Subrata Acharya: is from Wendy Wang. Thanks. You seemed I could not on me. Okay, I like to ask a follow up. Okay. My institution has an active size. Mi: Demonstration Director Board. 149 00:23:14.360 --> 00:23:20.700 Subrata Acharya: Can we apply to another track as lead does size, a Msi fall into size five-year restrictions, 150 00:23:20.830 --> 00:23:24.449 Subrata Acharya: so can they do another demonstration project in a different track. 151 00:23:25.210 --> 00:23:32.769 Michelle Rogers: So demonstration projects are thread, too, so you can do a project in thread, one or thread three. 152 00:23:33.050 --> 00:23:35.689 Michelle Rogers: That's the point of having the threads there. 153 00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:36.990 Michelle Rogers: You can only 154 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:45.260 Michelle Rogers: be the lead in one of the threads. If you're going to apply for an additional award, it has to be in one of the other threads, 155 00:23:45.270 --> 00:23:46.370 Michelle Rogers: or 156 00:23:46.790 --> 00:23:52.649 Michelle Rogers: if you want to apply in the demonstration project. Someone else has has to be the lead, 157 00:23:52.830 --> 00:23:56.199 Michelle Rogers: and they have another. Msi has to be the lead, 158 00:23:57.230 --> 00:24:05.890 Subrata Acharya: so I think maybe It's a good time, Michelle, to just review one more time. These threads, maybe folks are joining in. So, 159 00:24:06.170 --> 00:24:11.320 Subrata Acharya: jen you want to go up to the to the slide that introduces each thread. 160 00:24:11.770 --> 00:24:14.579 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Oh, I see this is a one 161 00:24:14.650 --> 00:24:20.209 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): I I I try to score down, and uh, I don't think I have another one. 162 00:24:20.260 --> 00:24:35.579 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): It's not above that. I thought there was one above that. I can't. I don't remember the slide set. This is just a quick summary slide. I do you want me to open up the one we give, the more complex I had to go look for 163 00:24:35.620 --> 00:24:43.290 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Don't. Worry about it, then, if I can, I can share My: Yes, yes, Can you show? Yeah, Let me? 164 00:24:43.300 --> 00:24:47.389 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Yes. So I don't have the slides. But I have the Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, 165 00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:48.520 Al Kuslikis: Okay. 166 00:24:48.820 --> 00:24:59.409 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): And while you're sharing Michelle, we'll take a question from Wayleigh. He has a branch hand raised. Patient's way. Please unmute and ask your question. 167 00:25:23.040 --> 00:25:35.070 Wei Li: That is three and the worst, the collaboration for for each other. But the hour you once decide the Pierre, will you finish that part? Another two inorthy? You may come here to a few months 168 00:25:35.370 --> 00:25:37.780 Wei Li: months for a few more months. 169 00:25:37.950 --> 00:25:40.169 Wei Li: So my question is this: 170 00:25:46.420 --> 00:25:48.290 Wei Li: What was your wrong? 171 00:25:48.300 --> 00:25:50.780 Wei Li: What is your role in the 172 00:25:50.790 --> 00:26:04.950 Wei Li: You're the I it depends. If they're the co-pi 173 00:26:09.890 --> 00:26:11.690 Wei Li: get projected. Just the phone. Another 174 00:26:11.700 --> 00:26:20.980 Wei Li: was just in the size core. Yeah, you're, right? Yes, and also particularly if we put our started date, and for the September 175 00:26:33.130 --> 00:26:36.390 Wei Li: that's a question for Dga. That's what I would say, 176 00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:48.790 Wei Li: and also what's the one number for the ones that we see previously. It's staff on seventeen or staff on. 177 00:26:48.800 --> 00:26:51.790 Wei Li: Yeah. You got to ask Dga about that. 178 00:26:51.800 --> 00:27:02.329 Wei Li: Why do we Thank you very much. So thanks. I know we have to like you interacted earlier also. So the only reason we say move to the Dg. Is because 179 00:27:02.340 --> 00:27:25.699 Wei Li: we don't want that. It goes to the process of panel. You we go through interacting, and then Dga poses and d recommend, So we don't want that situation. So if you verify, they are aware they keep track of it, and we have assigned a you know, Dj. Contacts for every directorate. If you don't find it, please feel free to reach out to one of us, and we'll connect you. But Nsfdg can then 180 00:27:25.710 --> 00:27:33.490 Subrata Acharya: have it in their radar and know that this is the checking, and this is where the start date is beyond that five years period. 181 00:27:37.830 --> 00:27:48.799 Subrata Acharya: Welcome! Thank you. We do have another question. I don't see any raised hands, so please feel free to raise your hands and unmute it. Ask, But the next question is, 182 00:27:49.330 --> 00:27:53.730 Subrata Acharya: Can we use funds for a postdoc through size? Msi: 183 00:27:54.770 --> 00:27:57.349 Michelle Rogers: Yes. So I would suggest you 184 00:27:57.460 --> 00:28:08.750 Michelle Rogers: totally read through this solicitation, because if you have a postdoc, a postdoc management plan is required so definitely. If you are going to propose a postdoc. 185 00:28:08.760 --> 00:28:23.230 Michelle Rogers: You have to have a post stock management plan, so i'll take Read through the solicitation. Um, one more time. Ah! And we can briefly go through that the the tracks. So the first track is for capacity building 186 00:28:23.370 --> 00:28:27.079 Michelle Rogers: in that track. There's a one, a and a one be the 187 00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:32.939 Michelle Rogers: the one A is for enhancement and development, and that 188 00:28:33.540 --> 00:28:43.759 Michelle Rogers: looking to establish partnerships that would allow you to get computing resources in addition to training, 189 00:28:43.780 --> 00:28:51.729 Michelle Rogers: faculty and staff to use those resources. So if you want to use Cloud Bank and things like that are in your area, 190 00:28:51.750 --> 00:29:11.669 Michelle Rogers: one A. Might be for you. It also. They're for funding curricular revisions. So if you want to integrate these new computing facilities, you want to utilize these different software packages and you want to do that in the classroom, then you might want to think about track one. A. 191 00:29:12.660 --> 00:29:16.830 Michelle Rogers: So that is more. If you, if you notice that's more on the 192 00:29:17.620 --> 00:29:23.489 Michelle Rogers: research capacity enhancing for one be the 193 00:29:23.990 --> 00:29:38.590 Michelle Rogers: you're expanding the capacity around a specific project. So you have these interdisciplinary collaborations, and they can be within one cot, one school, and you have different 194 00:29:38.600 --> 00:29:50.960 Michelle Rogers: colleges or departments that are involved, or multiple institutions that are looking to build around a project that you're interested in expanding upon. 195 00:29:51.290 --> 00:29:53.130 Michelle Rogers: So you are looking 196 00:29:53.390 --> 00:30:01.570 Michelle Rogers: to talk to us about how that work will provide this new research opportunity. 197 00:30:01.860 --> 00:30:10.100 Michelle Rogers: Um, This new undergraduate or graduate students enrolled at the Msi's. Okay, So that's 198 00:30:10.570 --> 00:30:13.190 Michelle Rogers: that one. Those research projects 199 00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:15.200 Michelle Rogers: should be collaborative. 200 00:30:15.210 --> 00:30:23.190 Michelle Rogers: Okay, You notice the last line in that says that a single project with a single P. I does not qualify for that track. 201 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:40.590 Michelle Rogers: Okay. So this track, whether it be more enhancement and development or more research focus, is looking at capacity building and they have the subsequent Ah budget caps and year caps. The second track is demonstration projects. So for this one 202 00:30:40.600 --> 00:31:04.890 Michelle Rogers: you already have a collaboration, or you want to establish a new one with multiple departments or cross emissions that you want to, that You've looked at the size of divisions, and you've looked in these divisions. You see one area, whether it be Ccf Cns or or um sat seated, you find a one of those areas that you want to build upon. You have a project in mind. 203 00:31:04.900 --> 00:31:12.580 Michelle Rogers: You want to do that, you think can be completed for up to three years, for a six hundred K. Then that's the project. 204 00:31:13.100 --> 00:31:30.589 Michelle Rogers: That's the track that you should follow. The last track is talking about research partnerships enhancements. So this thread is looking at. How can we look to establish this collaboration 205 00:31:30.600 --> 00:31:43.400 Michelle Rogers: um, and build capacity at these Msis Um. This team should have had collaborations already, all of the previous ones. They can be used to establish collaboration. 206 00:31:43.410 --> 00:32:04.280 Michelle Rogers: This one We really want the collaboration to have to have some prior success in that. You need this last push to make it large scale, to make it transformative that you that the partnership you have is working well. But you need one last big chunk of money to kind of help you get over that. And so that's what this collaboration 207 00:32:04.300 --> 00:32:20.439 Michelle Rogers: Ah, this thread is about. This is also offering the largest amount of funding. So here we're looking at. You have to demonstrate that you would contribute to that size focused area. So once again, looking at one of those divisions that you can make a impact on, let the research 208 00:32:20.800 --> 00:32:25.460 Michelle Rogers: why the investigators can make an impact in those areas. 209 00:32:25.990 --> 00:32:42.160 Michelle Rogers: As we said before, the goal is that we are providing the foundation, the capacity building, so that your next application is not back in the Msi. Your next application is to the size core because you've gotten your foundation here. 210 00:32:42.450 --> 00:32:46.159 Michelle Rogers: So i'm gonna stop sharing now, and 211 00:32:46.460 --> 00:32:48.210 Michelle Rogers: we can answer more questions. 212 00:32:48.300 --> 00:32:59.750 Subrata Acharya: Yep, thank you, Michelle. We have to you. So you raise your hands. Then you would be able to be unmuted. So please do go ahead. 213 00:32:59.760 --> 00:33:01.520 Theo Crouch: Okay, Can you hear me? 214 00:33:01.530 --> 00:33:06.570 Theo Crouch: Mhm Okay? No, I I think I see what's going on. Um, 215 00:33:07.130 --> 00:33:14.280 Theo Crouch: you all have a number of Cis proposals, our requests for 216 00:33:14.300 --> 00:33:15.690 Theo Crouch: proposals out there, 217 00:33:15.700 --> 00:33:17.689 Theo Crouch: and apparently I was looking at the wrong one. 218 00:33:17.700 --> 00:33:19.059 Theo Crouch: I was looking at that 219 00:33:19.070 --> 00:33:22.660 Theo Crouch: I was looking at um, the one that includes 220 00:33:22.780 --> 00:33:25.390 Theo Crouch: um non-profits. 221 00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:39.709 Theo Crouch: Oh, okay, Because I have a nonprofit and and the question my questions are born from the idea that um I stayed. I i'm older now. I'm in my fifties. I stayed out of school because of what i'm Seeing in the school 222 00:33:39.850 --> 00:33:46.749 Theo Crouch: I grew up. I wasn't really able to learn what I want to learn. And then I was able to. 223 00:33:46.860 --> 00:34:05.009 Theo Crouch: Hopefully, this Isn't taking up your time I was able to when I started school because someone gave me direction that Hey, you should do computer science because color blindness isn't a factor in computer science. But if you're trying to build robots. You can't do that. Color blindness affects you electronically per se. 224 00:34:05.020 --> 00:34:13.780 Theo Crouch: That said I started my computer science back in two thousand and seven, and I've been in the space for a while during that time I started a 225 00:34:13.790 --> 00:34:29.430 Theo Crouch: company and started doing skate events, and I got that up and running in about a month, and I was doing skate events, skateboarding streets, stuff like that, ramps. And the reason i'm saying is because i'm trying to give you a contrast. And then, when I 226 00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:38.479 Theo Crouch: finished by computer science bachelor's degree, then I proceeded to go into a graduate program In In the interim 227 00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:52.089 Theo Crouch: I actually got involved in one of these Nsf programs, which is why I know they exist. I was doing computer science and biology, and that put me on my way into genomics. And now in that 228 00:34:52.100 --> 00:35:11.109 Theo Crouch: I started learning about big data stuff like that, and it's like, Wow, I've never seen this aspect of this, And so I got grounded in that, and I went to grad school, got a and Nsf. Fellowship. So apparently I was doing something right because I got it. It's a fellowship. It funded most of all of my grad school, and then 229 00:35:11.120 --> 00:35:28.590 Theo Crouch: grad School wasn't going toward the big data aspects. They are only grounding themselves in the biology and the chemistry in the even the Cs. Department isn't a whole Cs department, and in that the idea is that I started the company again, 230 00:35:28.680 --> 00:35:40.389 Theo Crouch: and I moved to try to collaborate and make things happen, and part of the reason why I got them as a fellowship. Because I started the organizational campus that addressed big data and computer science cross-disciplinary, 231 00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:57.719 Theo Crouch: stressed all the different disciplines, every discipline at school. But in the meantime, like I said, I started a corporation a nonprofit, and I started proceeding, and it has been going on a decade trying to get things up and running in the community. 232 00:35:57.730 --> 00:36:17.279 Theo Crouch: And that's what I was asking, What are the matrix matrices? Because in the org I've sent students off to get these jobs, and is is likened to the idea of. There's a railroad track in this town, and there's one that's road level, and there's one There's a bridge. There's an overpass that you can drive under it It's kind of like a trick of a trade, 233 00:36:17.290 --> 00:36:36.270 Theo Crouch: so you can either go down this street and get stuck behind the train, or you can go to an industry. Proceed, even if there's a train coming these tricks of the trade. And so in that all these years, me being a computer science technologist per se, i'm a consultant now, making a decent amount of money. 234 00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:47.119 Theo Crouch: I haven't been seeing any changes. School is still the same way. It was when I was a child, and like I said, the only thing that changed was the fact that I saw the Nsf program. Now I jumped into it, 235 00:36:47.130 --> 00:36:57.910 Theo Crouch: and then I ended up in a grad program. I got the Nsf. Fellowship, and now I'm sitting here now, and I saw what you all were talking about at these historically these minority institutions, 236 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:15.270 Theo Crouch: and i'm at an Hsi. My niece went to A. H. C. B. I. Anyway, that historically black and they're doing it. And it is not computer science in this direction, so that I was looking at the the twenty, two, 237 00:37:15.390 --> 00:37:22.390 Theo Crouch: twenty, two, six hundred and thirty, one solicitation. But you all are talking about the twenty, two, five hundred and eighteen solution. 238 00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:26.109 Michelle Rogers: So there are. So, So in Nsf: we do do. 239 00:37:26.120 --> 00:37:36.889 Michelle Rogers: Things are different a little differently in that. So this is the core research. So this is we're talking about like, How do we make computers work? Whereas what you're interested in 240 00:37:36.900 --> 00:37:53.510 Michelle Rogers: there is a division for that that division they change their name, and they are a division for stem education. So there is a place for you to do to understand. So in any size. There is an education and workforce group. They do work 241 00:37:53.520 --> 00:38:10.359 Michelle Rogers: around broadening participation, and they do work in classes, and you can work with school districts and things like that. So if that's your area of interest, you definitely can go and look up information about education and workforce development. 242 00:38:10.370 --> 00:38:19.769 Michelle Rogers: The other area is the division for their new name is the directorate for stem education, and so they have a division 243 00:38:19.780 --> 00:38:44.730 Michelle Rogers: of equity for excellence in stem education. They have one for graduate education. They have one for learning and formal and informal settings, and then they have one in undergraduate education, and it's there where you'll find where they're trying to impact the actual school system and looking at how it's taught when it's taught, et cetera, et cetera. Here is more about the core. Actual science. 244 00:38:45.070 --> 00:38:46.320 Michelle Rogers: So I think 245 00:38:47.130 --> 00:39:04.889 Theo Crouch: to get what you really want. I think you probably want to go. It used to be Um, yeah, Char, Now it's called Edu. But if you go, and if you go and investigate the director it for stem education, I think that's where you'll get. You'll get excited, and I think you can definitely find places, 246 00:39:04.900 --> 00:39:10.490 Subrata Acharya: and if you have, if you need some us to connect you, please email us, we'll be happy to do that. 247 00:39:10.500 --> 00:39:11.290 Subrata Acharya: Yeah, Um, 248 00:39:11.300 --> 00:39:14.650 Theo Crouch: Thank you. Yeah, it is your email in this. 249 00:39:14.660 --> 00:39:24.189 Theo Crouch: Yeah, we enter the solicitation. You'll see everybody's name, and we will send out the webinar slides. So you will have our email to all attendees. But thank you. 250 00:39:24.200 --> 00:39:25.990 Subrata Acharya: Yeah, you've got the passion. 251 00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:26.790 Subrata Acharya: Yeah, 252 00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:39.549 Subrata Acharya: let's let's go to the next one. Now. Um. So, Wang Lu, Wang, we have the question. I think we did answer it. This is about Does Sisa Messi fall into the size? Five-year restriction? 253 00:39:39.560 --> 00:39:56.919 Subrata Acharya: Um, Yes, it does. And you know, if there is an award in two thousand and eighteen, please make sure that you connect with Nsf. Dga, so that you can have a clear idea about the start date which you want it for the proposal which is due February tenth. Um. 254 00:39:56.930 --> 00:40:15.130 Subrata Acharya: The next question is, Is it okay? If the expertise between two Pis. Ms. Ipi. Anonymous Ipi Overlaps, for example, both pis are robotic experts, and maybe i'll take a stab at it, and then you know Jen and Michelle you could jump in 255 00:40:15.140 --> 00:40:30.800 Subrata Acharya: so. Um, yes, we want the training like it could be a mentor mentee. But we want the Mentor to be a back step like a collaborator, and the mentee who is in the Hp. Cu. Or the Msi to take the lead. 256 00:40:30.810 --> 00:40:58.089 Subrata Acharya: Now the Pr. Who is in the Msi is the one he is going to have a major component of time and effort on budget or deliverables impact and so on. So yes, there should be overlap, there could be overlap. You could initiate it. You could continue it. We do have threads as Michelle Ah! And Gen. Web speaking. Ah! So there's no restriction on it. There is overlap between expertise because we want it to be grown at the em aside. 257 00:40:58.100 --> 00:41:00.370 Subrata Acharya: Um, Jen, take a 258 00:41:01.230 --> 00:41:30.949 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): uh, yes, let me ask actually is the second part. I don't think there will be or complain about the task. The assignment of the two Cobi Api's. You need to justify in your proposal, make it clear who is doing what? But if you have a two people doing the same thing, the who your? 259 00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:58.089 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): And then why do you need two of them, right? So it's not because the expertise of the labs it's very likely it's because the cost overlap by. So make sure you have several tasks with doing what, for instance, if you are in the same area, you can say one of them. One of this person is a mental, nice processor, and the Alabama is mit that. You see that that's a difference. There's no 260 00:41:59.540 --> 00:42:18.519 Subrata Acharya: yeah. And we would initiate like we'd like those ah expansions of research, because the whole idea is to set up this institution or this pi at the institution, so that they can then be competitive enough for the code programs in size. Four, Michelle, You want to add. 261 00:42:19.670 --> 00:42:38.380 Subrata Acharya: Okay, great. I think you all answered it very, very well, wonderful. The next one is from an attendee. The reason why I asked was that received a reviewing. Okay, perfect. I think we did that um perfect. So I I don't see any additional questions. If you have a question, please, 262 00:42:38.390 --> 00:42:55.590 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): uh raise your hands or um, and then we can unmute or put your questions in the Q. A. Uh. Meanwhile, uh Jen, would you like to just recap on the frequently ask questions one more time. Okay. So we have. This is our second Fa cues. 263 00:42:55.600 --> 00:43:09.030 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Uh, I think several uh already asked five-year eligibility, and how to define within the last five years. All right, so that's why we're looking at your role number If you awards before seventeen. 264 00:43:09.040 --> 00:43:24.039 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Then for sure. You're okay. You don't need to check, but if it's eighteen, then it's at a battery you want to check with Dga, but and if it's nineteen, and after you're probably it's meeting the five years already, you don't need to check it out, because that's for sure. 265 00:43:24.050 --> 00:43:30.869 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): The only time only thing is that eighteen It could be beginning of eighteen, and I didn't, you know. You need to check that. 266 00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:36.279 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): So any questions. Okay, that's another quick coming up. Yes, 267 00:43:36.380 --> 00:43:55.730 Subrata Acharya: okay, wonderful. So the next question is um. There was another quote of the review. The collaboration between two pis is not interdisciplinary. So I think this is a review received by the investigator saying that the collaboration between the two investigators is not interdisciplinary. 268 00:43:55.740 --> 00:44:10.889 Subrata Acharya: Ah! That is why, ah! Then, this kit is confused, or whether the P. I research domain should be different. Okay. So I think we did answer it. So I I don't think it's more like disciplinary similarity or difference. It is more like based on what you're proposing 269 00:44:10.900 --> 00:44:28.559 Subrata Acharya: is the collaboration justified. And if the Msi Api is is the one who is leading the effort. And is the um Is the impacts coming into the Msi and staying in the Msi. Ah, so that's what we intend. Ah, Mission, go ahead. 270 00:44:31.250 --> 00:44:33.689 Michelle Rogers: I was just trying to clear the Q. And A. 271 00:44:33.700 --> 00:44:37.250 Subrata Acharya: Okay. I think it might be helpful if you 272 00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:49.209 Michelle Rogers: that when you finish writing what you're writing to have someone else read it, because it's evident you may. It may be clear to you because you wrote it right so to you. It says it's clear. 273 00:44:49.220 --> 00:45:04.250 Michelle Rogers: We're doing two different things, or it's clear that i'm doing this, and they're doing that. Evidently it was not clear to the reviewers that reviewed your proposal. So you want to have someone else look at it and make sure that they see it being clear 274 00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:10.789 Michelle Rogers: because it's it. Evidently it wasn't clear to them that you were, that you were doing two different things. 275 00:45:11.820 --> 00:45:22.440 Subrata Acharya: Yes, and I think we always like. You know we are limited, or we have. We are limited by the fifteen pages. So we just want you to understand that, you know. 276 00:45:22.460 --> 00:45:31.869 Subrata Acharya: Ah, clarity is something which the panel needs, which even our management needs, and justification of that clarity with data is something which we would really appreciate. 277 00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:56.990 Subrata Acharya: Ah, please keep in mind that, like the information which you provide, is something uh which you are um assessed on. So I know sometimes reviews are not uh can be confusing, as you said, but just just clarify with your uh assigned program officer, and then, you know, make sure that you are addressing them are based on your judgment for the submission or for Peter submission. So 278 00:45:57.000 --> 00:46:00.060 Subrata Acharya: um, we have another Uh, 279 00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:17.120 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): uh, we have another question or thanks. So there should be no okay. Okay, We answered it perfect. So uh Jen: you want to continue. I'm: Sorry. Okay, this is the 280 00:46:17.130 --> 00:46:30.629 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): um. Basically uh, it's about transporting because some people they after they get a grind, and they transfer a different university. And this one cannot be transferred with the process. 281 00:46:31.150 --> 00:46:38.659 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Some award can go with a pi, but some of it cannot. But this one cannot. This one goes to the Institute, the snuggle with the P. I. 282 00:46:41.100 --> 00:47:00.170 Subrata Acharya: Yes, and I think what we have understood is um. When awards are made in this program a cycleicide program. We would like to make sure that it impacts the institution, and the award has been made based on the collaborations as presented. 283 00:47:00.180 --> 00:47:17.370 Subrata Acharya: Um, So it is in good faith from the investigator team as well as from an asf. So we would like to make sure that there has to be enough justification for a change, because we don't want to fund the same institution ah, multiple times, and want to make sure that 284 00:47:17.380 --> 00:47:40.829 Subrata Acharya: the funding is used or or submitted or shared with, uh appropriate diversity appropriate uh like, you know. Um uh action items in that msi jurisdiction, or in that particular department where the pi resides. So so we take it seriously, so make sure that we are building these collaborations. Those are collaborations which can 285 00:47:40.840 --> 00:48:00.489 Subrata Acharya: stay uh safe, at least until the end of the grant, and then you know, uh, make sure that they are sustainable, or during that period. And you have those collaborations who are all into the project. Um any other questions from the team. We have about ten minutes left in this Webinar. Um, 286 00:48:00.560 --> 00:48:08.569 Subrata Acharya: you have a question. Please raise your hands so you you'd be able to unmute, or you can put your questions in the 287 00:48:08.620 --> 00:48:18.250 Subrata Acharya: the chat before before that. Michelle Jen, Do you have any other inputs you want to share with 288 00:48:18.260 --> 00:48:37.980 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): the team. Um. Before we go off. We need to emphasize that the recording of this. It's available. It's going to be available in a week or so, and so that they can look in a recording if listening. If they miss part of this, they can watch the record, 289 00:48:39.290 --> 00:48:43.919 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): and there's a website, the Webinar website. It's going to be post to the Webinar website. 290 00:48:43.930 --> 00:48:45.490 Subrata Acharya: Yes, yes, 291 00:48:45.670 --> 00:48:46.870 Subrata Acharya: you, 292 00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:53.069 Michelle Rogers: I think we've answered most of the questions that people 293 00:48:53.320 --> 00:49:03.069 Michelle Rogers: have had just encourage you to read through the solicitation Don't read into it. 294 00:49:05.950 --> 00:49:11.919 Michelle Rogers: We look forward to helping build capacity at minority-serving institutions, 295 00:49:12.340 --> 00:49:28.080 Michelle Rogers: historically black colleges and universities, My um Hispanic serving institutions as well as tribal colleges and universities. So if you fit into one of those categories, you are prime to be the lead on and size and Messiah one 296 00:49:28.700 --> 00:49:58.310 Subrata Acharya: and uh, yes, wonderful! And I think what what we would like to emphasize is, we would like board participation from Pacific Islanders uh from like, you know, uh Tc. Use. So if you would like to establish such collaborations from your jurisdiction, or from your stage to another Um, you know the deadline is February tenth, so seven part of it, Maybe not this year. But that is something you can. You can keep in mind um if we get. And again i'm saying this, I know it's being recorded. But 297 00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:12.200 Subrata Acharya: if there are all exemplary proposals, we will, we will like, you know, work our work hard to get all of them funded. So you know, these are things which are very dear to Nsf. For broadening participation, very dear to size. 298 00:50:12.210 --> 00:50:23.940 Subrata Acharya: To make sure we have the right amount of diversity, and we have the things in. So we look forward. We are excited for February tenth. Meanwhile the slides will be shared 299 00:50:24.040 --> 00:50:36.490 Subrata Acharya: the Webinar recording based on like, you know. Um, it might take a week as Jen mentioned, but the slides is something we can quickly share with that Indies. Ah, but to be 300 00:50:36.500 --> 00:50:51.930 Subrata Acharya: we uh we noted that the solicitation is very, very detailed with all this information. So if you have any questions uh me. Michelle or Jen can jump in for a zoom one on one between now and February ten, and we'd be happy to answer any other questions. 301 00:50:51.940 --> 00:50:58.269 Subrata Acharya: Uh we will um give a one a minute or two minutes for you for any last-minute thoughts. But other than that 302 00:50:58.280 --> 00:51:14.399 Subrata Acharya: you know thank you for those who could join in. We appreciate your time, and from the size of Asi team I would like to say that you know we we we cannot wait to read all your wonderful research proposals as they come in February tenth, like, you know, 303 00:51:14.410 --> 00:51:18.400 Subrata Acharya: your five P. M. Local time. Thank you so much. 304 00:51:23.750 --> 00:51:25.419 Michelle Rogers: There's a question. 305 00:51:28.500 --> 00:51:30.990 Subrata Acharya: Okay, Thank you. 306 00:51:32.300 --> 00:51:34.560 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): Um, I can uh 307 00:51:34.630 --> 00:51:51.670 Juan Jenny Li (NSF/OAC): uh. It's a testimonial last year for sure, and I my personal sprat, or we try so hard to get so so many funding, we try to find as many as we can. Yes, 308 00:51:51.800 --> 00:52:09.400 Subrata Acharya: yes, so I think that is the That is the intention over here. This is, as I said, taxpayer dollars.
