[LTER-luq] Funding for Luquillo LTER to be continued by NSF!

[Jess Zimmerman]

Dear All,

I just met with our program officer, Saran Twombly, and she informed that
our proposal reviewed well and that we will be provided three more years of
funding beginning on December 1.

The proposal was reviewed by seven outside reviewers and the review scores
were 2 Excellent and 5 Very Good.  These are quite good scores and NSF will
provide new funding without any further information at this moment.

Saran did tell me that there were concerns expressed by the reviewers,
which will be detailed in her summary of the reviews.  They will be looking
in the future to see how we address these concerns.  I will share this
information with you as soon as we receive it.

I want to thank you all for your contribution to the renewal proposal
process and to your patience in the sometimes painful wait to know our fate.

I look forward to working with you all as we continue to build our LTER
program.
