<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">This afternoon we had our debrief with the NSF Site Visit Team for DesignSafe, and they have again given us a
<b>Highly Recommended </b>rating. Congratulations! The issues to address going forward are relatively minor, and they also provided some useful insights about increasing the user base. </span></p>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">As always, this is a TEAM effort. Although only a few of us get to stand up and present to the site visit team, your work is the reason we have great things to present. For the
entire natural hazards research community, I want to thank you for your great work and for making DesignSafe a success.</span></p>
