framework: NSF
merger of IRIS Cooperative Agreement& IRIS USArray into a single proposal
- NSF (and gov’t) envisions substantial cost savings (!)
- maximum proposal budget for FY14 equals current budget plus 3%/year
- requirement to identify EarthScope budget items- implied(?) no major changes to Core-USArray split
- EarthScope ends after 2018- money goes back to EAR
- 2018-20xx Cooperative proposal will be openly competed
President’s FY13 budget request is 10% cut relative to above!

CoCom 2012 April 9-102013-2018 Budget
framework: IRIS Board
challenges: - flat budget; how to avoid reduced services, stagnation?- what happens beyond 2018?
opportunities:- non-competitive proposal (this time) - more flexibility, synergy between Core & USArray
guidance:- fold USArray into IRIS (not vice-versa)
- IRIS must survive and thrive post-EarthScope- build non-trivial “development” into proposal
- enable IRIS to evolve towards future - solicit new developments from SC’s- encourage pan-IRIS developments

CoCom 2012 April 9-102013-2018 Budget
2013-2018 Budget Guidance
- start with existing program “base” budgets- reduce by 10% “starting point” for FY14 - add 3%/year “starting point” for FY15-18
- assuming NSF budget cap ~$18M “development space”
request from Programs & SC’s:1) what can/cannot be accomplished with “starting point”? 2) SC-prioritized new in-program initiatives (with PIFs)3) pan-IRIS new initiatives (with PIFs)
~$18M to be distributed amongst all 3 of above

April 9-10 CoCom Meeting
- listen to Programs & SC’s:1) what can/cannot be accomplished with “starting point”? 2) SC-prioritized new in-program initiatives3) pan-IRIS new initiatives
- discuss above: - well-enunciated? clear goals? complete? - synergies pan-IRIS- tentative prioritization
Goal: complete, well-enunciated, prioritized (by SC’s) list for “development space”
effective Board discussion on May 1-2
tasks NOT for this meeting- final decisions on which initiatives will be in the proposal- yearly distribution of “development” spending
