Hi all. Thanks to Cawa for forwarding the slideset from the meeting we attended. We didn't have time to discuss this in our meeting today, but here are a couple of additional points regarding the STARBURST process this year (issues that we are often curious about):
-hard deadline Feb 21
-as usual, there is no firm budget or funding percentage they can report
-they are not sure if STEM initiative funding will augment the budget
-they are planning for equal funding percentages for applicants to the two programs (STAR vs. BURST)
