SCAR XXXIV WP09b: Delegate Scores and Comments on SRP External Reviews

Executive Summary:

Authors: J Baeseman

Important Issues or Factors: Five of the six Scientific Research Programmes (SRP) were externally reviewed this year. The process can be found in WP 9a. Reviews are also part of the Delegates papers as WP 11b, 12b, 13b, 14b and 15b. They can be found here: http://www.scar.org/meetings/34scar-papers

Recommendations/Actions and Justification: Delegates were asked to submit comments and a ranking for the SPRs which will help in determining continuation of the SRPs. Based on the scores received, Delegates are asked to approve the continuation of all the SRPs and to commend the groups for great progress.

Budget Implications: SRPs are funded at ~$20,000 per year.
