Gastil and all,

ESIP registration covers breakfast, lunch, snacks and one dinner so the per diems are high. Plus EDI is looking for cost share, so not sure they'd entertain full fare at that level. Fair warning.

Hello fellow LTER Site IMs,

I am sure none of you procrastinated as long as I have to submit this form due today if you will be applying to EDI to partially cover your travel to the July ESIP meeting, concurrent with the annual IMC meeting. Luckily for us who are only just doing this today, Suzanne has shared her cost estimates. Thank you Suzanne!

And wonderful news: Jason Downing is willing to coordinate IMC meeting planning! He may help coordinating roommates or airport rides, for those who want to save cost.

EDI is not the only source of travel funds. There is your own site, and the possibility of NCO matching funds.

EXAMPLE for travel from H.J. Andrews to Bloomington, Indiana
Transportation:
                Plane $800
                Baggage fees $50
                Shuttle to/from PDX $87
                Shuttle to/from IND = $40
Lodging: $104 * 5 = $520 or with roommate = $260
Per Diem: current rate for Indiana = $57/day = $342
Registration fee: $415
Total:  $1994-2253

For those who missed yesterday's vtc, we gave ourselves the due date of April 5th to exchange abstract drafts for our sessions. That is the same day EDI will send out decisions on funding from the forms submitted by today.
