Believe it or not, we are about 2 months away from our Year 1 Site Visit for DesignSafe. We will be putting together a quarterly report at the end of April, and then submit a more comprehensive summary of the year in mid/late-May (although we will be only
8 months into Year 1). </div>

This more comprehensive document will require a summary for each Use Case project so that we can show NSF progress on this front. I understand that funding for the Use Case projects didn't arrive until Dec/Jan, so I am not expecting major findings from these

<b>please provide to me by early May a 1-2</b> page write up on progress for your project. </div>
