THIS REQUEST IS MEANT PRIMARILY FOR LAND GRANT INSTITUTIONS BUT IT MAY APPLY TO
OTHERS.  WE HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE FROM USDA/CSRS THAT THREE OF OUR SUBMISSIONS TO

BARD ARE NOW GOING TO BE FUNDED DIRECTLY FROM CSRS.  FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO FIND OUT MONIES WERE TAKEN AWAY FROM THE USDA COMPETITIVE INITIATIVE AND
GIVEN TO BARD WHICH IN TURN CREATED A POLITICAL MESS.  NOW CSRS IS FUNDING THESE

DIRECTLY BUT THEY INFORM US THAT THE INDIRECT COSTS WHICH WERE ORIGINALLY TAGGED

ON TO THE BARD SUBMISSIONS IS NOT IN CSRS BUT IS BEING HELD BY BARD AND IT IS
GOING TO BE UP TO THE INSTITUTION TO TRY AND GET THE IDC'S BACK FROM ISRAEL.  IS

ANYONE OUT THERE INVOLVED, HOW HAVE YOU APPROACHED THE ISRAELIES ABOUT GETTING
THESE FUNDS ALLOCATED BACK TO YOUR INSTITUTION? HOW ARE YOU HANDLING THE
PROPOSALS NOW BEING SUBMITTED BY YOUR FACULTY WHICH CONTAIN MENTION IS ISRAEL
COOPERATION. AUGUST 1 IS THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION.  ANY HELP OR ADVICE
APPRECIATED. YOU MAY RESPONS TO MY DIRECT INTERNET ADDRESS_ xxxxxx@RES.IFAS.UFL.
