5. SCIGN budget overview; FY97-FY02

6. SCIGN funding; FY97-FY00 During the construction phase of the project, we have remained on budget (nearly) Installation delays (especially permitting) mean that we now have only 1+ years’ funding remaining to operate the full network, now that it has been completed $1.5 M remaining Keck funds; ongoing USGS support of approx. $0.5 M per year $1.8 M per year current budget Need to drop annual costs to stretch resources farther Prospects for other funds through CSRC, USGS, PBO, etc. but as yet we cannot count on these After about July 2002, SCIGN will face annual shortfall of $1.3 M if we don’t cut costs, and only have USGS funds for network operations support W. M. Keck$5.92 M NASA$5.76 M USGS$2.02 M NSF$2.00 M SCEC$0.80 M SIO$0.62 M Total$17.12 M Need to figure out how to keep SCIGN going in case CSRC and other funds don’t materialize…

7. County Surveyors’ support for SCIGN? Could this work? Each county would provide 1-2 people to be be trained and then available for site troubleshooting as needed and directed by Galetzka Trained people would then have SIM access. They’d be called only occasionally, if the sites are having problems and need to be visited by a trained field trouble-shooter (to fix site, or report symptoms to Galetzka for visit by other SCIGN personnel) SCIGN would provide training and direction, spare GPS and other equipment & tools County would provide person and vehicle, PC with internet to make SIM data entries Benefits to Counties - data from key SCIGN stations ensured (those of interest for surveys) - keep network going for a longer time (for long-term control) Benefits to SCIGN - data from SCIGN stations ensured (more rapid station repair by having closer support) - keep network going for a longer time (for better scientific data) - costs to scientific funding agencies can be lowered (drop by ~1.5 to 2.0 FTE’s)
