• $2M for 5 years, same amount as ITR grant (but without overhead)
• Funds are in-kind, i.e., provide personnel and other services and resources toward project
Consortium
• Consortium has a board that governs and coordinates: Future directions of the project Major functionality changes Content cluster membership Consortium membership Annual conferences and workshops Policy issues Public relations Financial development and grant-making
