Danee,
 
Maybe a little more info would be helpful, since I don't recall anything
being posted on the ADV Mailing List about some of this.
 
First, who makes up the "review committee", and, specifically, how do they
"oversee how the money is used"?
 
Also, who are the 3 proposals from other than the U of GA?  I think Dr.
Rosenthal/Dr. Stephon have a proposal they've sent in, but I haven't heard
of the others.
 
Thanks,
Judy
