For now, here’s where things stand on my end; I can support a grant of up to $750k, spread roughly equally over three years and inclusive of up to 15% overhead. I know that this is a bit smaller than your lower-end scenario, so I’d be interested to hear where you’d put focus given these bounds; sorry I can’t go higher given current budget constraints on my end.

Or, can aim for by June board meeting.
