Hello RosEXEC and RosCAP,

Please join us in a very late notice discussion about one of the initiatives (RosBREED). There have been a few developments since our last discussion (of course now we have an RFA) and we need to fine tune our plans according to the RFA (for example now funding for a CAP project is up to 6 Million). One major item of business is the fact that Amy Iezzoni has declined the position as a PD on this project due to personal reasons but will be extremely involved in the writing, planning and submission process (we are all grateful for initially volunteering for this), so now we have to get someone also on board as PD - since this initiative focuses mostly on enabling breeders it would nice be to have a breeder as PD but should keep our minds open for people that have the skills and leadership (and that are willing to do it) at this point. Cameron Peace has indicated his tentative availability.

So please join us to discuss these items and more - we have a tight deadline where this Friday we will be expected to submit a letter of intent to Dr. Bewick.

All the best, See you on Wednesday July 16 at 3:00 PM EDT

GF
