2. Pre-R&D list (cost/manpower) for SoLID sub-systems: A)EC (including SPD): simulation/design, testing critical components (fibers, MAPMT, fine-mesh PMT, radiation hardness) and establish capability to produce modules Year 1: procurement $122K, manpower: 1 postdoc, 1 grad student, 3 summer undergraduates, 0.1 physicist, 0.15 engineer Year 2: procurement $ 84K, manpower: 0.25 postdoc, 0.75 grad student, 0.33 physicist, 0.25 engineer Total procurement $206K + manpower  Shandong U funding. B)Software: 2 postdoc x 3 years (one for simulation, one for tracking/analysis framework)  Update from Ole + Seamus C) DAQ: Y1: procurement $65.5K, manpower: 0.5 postdoc, 0.5 student Y2: procurement $53K, manpower: 0.5 postdoc, 0.5 student Y3: procurement $33K, manpower: 0.5 postdoc, 0.5 student Total $151.5K  JLab DAQ/FastElectronics Group List Discussed with Physics Division (June)  Update

5. 5 SoLID GEM R&D activities requiring funding at UVa and TU Small investments in pre R&D pay big dividends at final R&D and production. While a significant progress towards SoLID GEMs accomplished within the EIC R&D program some SoLID specific funding needed. Following is a rough estimate for the first year of SoLID GEM pre-R&D UVa $ 20 k : Components and manpower for a Solid prototype design. TU $ 20 k: Design and fabrication costs for SoLID specific GEM foils and chamber components. UVa/TU $ 40 k: Funds to host Chinese collaborators for extended visits. Purchase single mask foils from CIAE and build and characterize prototypes. Nilanga Liyanage
