Okay, a few more details :-) The initial funding here is a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to UCB with me as PI, in the amount of $645,020. There's also another thing in the pipeline that might supplement that, but it'll be ~6 months yet before we know for sure. So keep your fingers crossed I guess.
Here's some text from the proposal (the references to "this year" may give some sense of how long this has taken...): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xHjQqc8V8zJk7WSCyw9NPCpMYZ2Urh0cmFm2vDd14ZE/edit -n On Sun, May 14, 2017 at 3:40 PM, Nathaniel Smith <n...@pobox.com> wrote: > On Sun, May 14, 2017 at 2:11 PM, Chris Barker - NOAA Federal > <chris.bar...@noaa.gov> wrote: >> Awesome!
