    <p>Farzi,  Good question! <br>
    </p>
    <p>We had a lot of complaints and concerns about the budget this
      year. Would it help forestall or prepare us for the budget battles
      ahead if we knew more about what the finance team is thinking?  So
      much of our work depends on travel grants, CROPP and other types
      of grants and funding. Should we try to be ahead of the curve this
      year -- and see if some of the requests for re-expansion of
      funding are falling on ears that are interested and sympathetic.</p>
    <p>Best, Kathy<br>
    </p>
