NPPS Leadership Team

["Van Buren, Gene" <gene AT bnl.gov>]

Hi, Torre

I'm at BNL on Monday. I usually have a 1pm meeting but could skip it for this 
(oddly enough, my normal 1pm meeting is weekly in room 1-0224, so there seems 
to be a room conflict).

Sending this out 1 work day before the meeting seems rather short notice to 
prepare a 5+ year plan! At the minimum as I understand it, we (NPPS) have the 
intent & interest to obtain 2 FTEs at the postdoc level through either LDRD 
or PD which we can pencil in for 3 years, and I would suggest to retain that 
level through all 5 years, unless we have some topic(s) for which we could 
increase that number. Suggestions? It's quite possible that members of the 
group come up with additional LDRD/PD-fundable projects, but I'm unaware of 
anything else on the drawing board right now.

-Gene
