 +==Review of status:==
 +
 +project summary – not written yet. Manuela and SH working on this this week.
 +
 +Investigators list - **add your specialty, experiments you’re associated with, and MA**
 +  * MC: lots of acronyms. Is there need to collapse projects into smaller summaries.
 +    * SH: using 2 lines per person if fine. Keeping all acronyms is baseline for now.
 +
 +Overview: ignore all text there. Real text not written yet.  Manuela and SH will write.
 +  * 2 key points we plan to emphasize 
 +    * oppurtunities coming in next decade. New science, new messengers, new data/new observatories.
 +    * need for holostic end to end approach
 +    * VM: highlight that this is 1 of 10 big ideas for NSF. SH: and matches astro's 'horizons on the universe'  
 +    * Manuela: ~45-48 white papers on this for astro2020. Should we cite some of these?
 +      * SH: also mention references to multi-messenger institute. Manuela: related to XEMA?
 +      * Zabi has some connection. get ref from him.
 +  * Figure.  Goal was to captures much of science we plan. including stochastic grav wave background
 +    * SH: missing cosmic rays
 +    * Lucy: might look good to add a repeat of the GRB image next to the galaxy (replace image with a jetted radio galaxy) to show we're looking at AGN which are related jet phenomena at a different scale.
 +      * SH: science connection is AGN/blazars to jets in GRBs. LF: yes.  
 +      * LF: large scale to small would be from left to right.
 +      * ??: then not host galaxy, since AGN aren't hosts of GRBs
 +      * SH: makes sense. just a question of how complicated the figure gets.
 +        * LF: definitely want to have AGN, otherwise missing an entire MA. 
 +      * VM: could show stochastic background map. it's similar to the CMB map. is one a few months old.
 +        * ??: could split CMB/SGWB maps so each is 1/2 sky.
 +        * then replace galaxy with a jetted one. an agn.  Then don't mention host galaxy. add cosmic rays.
 +        * emphasize accretion disk in AGN.
 +      * ??: any font restrictions for figures?  LF: captions must be 10 pt. never seen limits on text in figures. ??:agree.  just must be 'readable'
 +      * SH: will work on this new figure.
 +
 +Results from Prior NSF.  Josh is in charge.
 +  * Looks disjointed, but that may be inevitable.
 +  * 1st paragraph is exec summary. Collab deals with much of NSF.
 +    * will get paper count in few days.
 +    * if people have 1 clause papers to highlight send to Josh. probably can add.
 +    * Intellectual merit and broader impact are not separated out. Due to space. 
 +      * both are mixed in and should be clear enough.
 +      * Can add references. **feel free to add lists of your references**
 +      * Manuela: can do just last names to save space.  
 +        * Josh: don't think we'd gain a line. and this reads as friendlier.
 +        * SH: agree with Manuela, but if no savings that's fine.  Don't need grant numbers. LF: no grant numbers? SH: yes, instructions are different from most NSF proposals.
 +      * SH: concerned that Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts aren't called out. don't want to annoy NSF's format. 
 +        * ??: agree that it is worth a few lines to call out broader impacts.
 +      * SH: **please send broader impact results to SH, Josh**
 +      * VM: maybe don't need a paragraph per person? could put all GW in 1 paragraph. or similar. group by field. LF: I agree.
 +      * LF: could be narrative format? SH: yes is fine.
 +      * Josh: could do intellectual merit organized by the 4 MAs. broader impact is 5th category.  **can do tonight**
 +        * SH: keep names while reorganizing, not just projects/achievements. 
 +        * Josh: if only last names with do bold to call out to reviewer. (note 2 William's, to Marka's)
 +    * SH: feel free to ping lots of people.
 +      * Josh: Halzen and Pryke are large numbers in the grants. need a sentence from each.
 +    * Szabi: in past had complaints from reviewers about people with prior support from non-NSF places. might want to short circuit problems.
 +      * Manuela: agree some explanation of why the specific things listed here are chosen may matter.
 +        * Josh: should be less of a problem when reorganized with MAs as context.
 +
 +
 +MA4: (david, lucy, ...)
 +  * Szabi: yes, should distinguish high/low-energy neutrinos. (different detection method and different origins)
 +    * SH: high in this context? number?  Szabi: for IceCube can provide numbers. (but not key detail right now)
 +  * SH: cosmic high-energy neutrinos section modified to call out: 
 +    * modeling (like blazars) to explain background, models inform observing plans.
 +    * SH: additional background possibilities (SNe). contingent on using proprietary IceCube data.
 +    * SH: 3rd possibility. do a census of all sources to explain background. Conflicts with first paragraph saying some of these are negligible. 
 +      * DW/BZ: each source (GRBs, star forming, blazars) in Paragraph 1 can produce 10% each.
 +        * SH: I see. text needs clearing up.
 +  * Cosmic ray accelerators:
 +    * 1st paragraph on galactic cosmic rays. not clear what will be done. 
 +      * LF: yes, and who will do the work? no one called out.
 +    * 2nd paragraph is extragalatic CRs. all we say is we can model sources. need consensus that that is what we should do.
 +      * DW: ok with me.
 +      * LF: everyone in MA4 would be interested in working on this section. but not sure who would work on galactic CR.
 +        * DW: maybe IceCube folks? Justin?  **Can talk to him and confirm his name on paragraph 1. get a defined goal for this topic.**
 +          * SH: yes. or this 1st paragraph removed.
 +      * SH: and 2nd paragraph needs some cleaning up to define the topic.
 +    * SN neutrinos from next supernova. from Justin?
 +      * BZ: these are low energy neutrinos? in IceCube.
 +      * ??: galactic supernova will be seen at high SNR.
 +      * **can ask Yong Qian** he is expert on this.
 +  * SH: done editing.  Please DW, LF go over and fix the things I broke.  **Will talk to Yong Qian**.
