==== PASAG (2009) Criteria - use in developing the program ====
=== The science addressed by the project is necessary ===
  * Addresses fundamental physics
  * At least one compelling result or preponderance of solid, important results.  Check that anticipated results would not be marginal...
  * Discovery space: large leap in capabilities, significant new discovery space, possibility of important surprises
=== Particle physicist participation is necessary ===
  * Transformative techniques and know-how have a major, visible impact; project would not happen otherwise
  * Leadership is higher priority than participation
=== Scale matters, particularly for projects at the boundary of particle physics and astrophysics ===
  * Relatively small projects with high science per dollar help ensure scientific breadth while maintaining program focus on the highest priorities
=== Programmatic issues ===
    * International context:  cooperation vs duplication/competition
    * Readiness, risk, timeliness
