Budget

• David has been communicating with our Budget Analyst Annie Ungaro who has provided variations on the full budget
• The single post-doc budget is below the "floor" of $300k/yr so we'll need to ask for 2 postdocs
• Some money for travel which includes Naomi coming here for 1 week and the postdocs going to CMU for 1 week, plus one domestic conference/workshop
