Need help from Ted interpreting his data. Can we ask for a bit more detail and report page references. What does quoting 2 numbers mean? Can we use one average number? There is some mushiness in time cost and paper cost distinctions. Define opportunity cost. Do we have a way to get the Matthew effect for 35%? More details on the aspirational 35% number. (or should it be 30%?)

What is our schedule? Has anything further been done? Add your ideas to Sample questions that go beyond the Von Hippel Survey

Michael Cooke added to the DOE Cosmic Frontier Resource Page and then included that data into the DOE Cosmic Frontier summaries.

Prisca and Michael will continue to work together on pulling together the relevant data. I remind you that DOE provides a counter example to success rates.

NASA Linda, Hasan, Daniel are willing to help, but not a lot of time. What is the best use of their time? Can we get better/more merit data to fill in the gaps in years and for Astro Helio and Planetary separately?

Helio and Planetary - need a point person who will consider what data already exists (see our long report) and what else we need. This data provides information on pre-proposal models - we need the latest data to update what we have.

NSF is short-handed for this work, but can be tapped to mine the data if we have a very specific question to ask. I would suggest number of unique proposers per 2 years, 4 years, 5 years to complement already existing 1 year and 3 year. Can we fit for the number of repeat proposals? Can we get this data for other agencies?

Put your ideas into the Agency stat link.
