[ISP-mc] ISP.POP.Projects (response by 5-5)

[Paula Robinson]

Dear ISP Project Leads,

Fairly shortly after I distributed this request, it became apparent that 
this was essentially asking several of you to prepare double reporting 
for the POP.  It is great to hear that the divisions and labs are 
highlighting ISP projects in their reporting, while at the same time 
this adds a new flavor to the ISP section of the POP.  The consensus now 
is that full-length descriptions of the projects will remain in the 
division and lab write-ups, and the ISP write-ups on the projects will 
be brief, refer back to those larger descriptions, and summarize 
milestones and plans.  The ISP section will end up looking fairly 
similar to the FY10 POP, with updates. 
This means that you do not need to send a separate report to me for the 
POP if you have already been asked for one at the division/lab level.  
If you have a specific set of bullets that you would like to see in the 
ISP section, of course I welcome that input, so send them along!  I am 
working with each of the POP writers to make sure that our pieces 
harmonize, and tell a clear story about ISP and the collaborative 
projects that suits the audience for the report, our NSF program 
managers.   Please let me know if questions come up about the process.

One final note:  if you have not been asked to write anything at the 
division/lab level, please let me know, because we will need to create 
something for the ISP section.

Thank you all for your patience and collaboration,
Paula
