  7. National Science Foundation support since inception: Total spent NSF investment: $5.72M Total awarded NSF investment: $6.72M

  8. FY2010 budget (total: $501,555) Staff: Hans-Werner Braun Jim Hale Kim Bruch (part time) Ron Serabia (part time)

  9. FY2010 budget (total: $501,555)approximate staff vs. non-staff Green ($456.955): salary benefits M&S SDSC fees UCSD fees Blue ($47600): equipment travel tower rent

  10. Issues • Cannot “just leave network in place” • tower rental • we are hosted by several agency towers • HPWREN may already not exist any more, had we not gotten the ABR just a few months ago - we probably would have had to dismantle the infrastructure • My personal priorities • funding for my time • staff funding • HPWREN network continuity • Equipment budget (repairs and continued development) • currently $20k/year, insufficient for repairs even today • original proposal allocated almost 20 times that

  11. Bottom line • Is HPWREN of enough value to be retained after August 2011? • What is the network worth it to you? • Three possibilities: • Continue business as usual, hope for the best • Assume we dismantle the network, starting late-spring 2011 • Find other means for long-term sustainability
