Thank you all for your interest in joining us today
and learning about the Margaret Davidson Graduate Fellowship.
We have a mix of participants ranging from students
who know they want to apply, students who aren't sure yet
and want a better understanding of what this program entails.
And a few university advisors and reserve staff who want to better
position themselves to support their students interested in applying.
Our goal for this webinar is to provide you all with a more thorough understanding
of what it means to be a Margaret Aid Davidson Graduate Fellow
so you can be better equipped to decide
whether this program is the right fit for you or your students.
My name is Christopher Katalinas.
My pronouns are he,
him and I'm the learning coordinator for this fellowship program.
I'm employed as a contractor by Lynker to help the NOAA Office
for Coastal Management administer the program.
I'm joined by my colleague Jean Brodeur, who manages the competition.
She'll be helping me monitor and manage questions for our
formal presentation today.
The overarching goal of the Davidson
Fellowship is to develop the next generation of coastal leaders
to do collaborative research that makes a difference
for our coastal ecosystems and communities.
With the added benefit of experiencing these unique and beautiful
estuarine landscapes that you find across
the National Estuarine Research Reserve System.
Before we go over what you can expect to learn
in this webinar, I would like to go over a few housekeeping items.
A reminder for those who may have just joined this webinar is being recorded
and recordings only include the active speaker and the presentation.
The chat conversation log is also saved, so please be aware not to include
any personally identifiable information in your questions.
We will avoid the use of names when reading out questions for the recording
so you can feel free to type questions into the chat box during the presentation
and we'll address questions after the presentation.
If you would like to turn on closed
captions, you can click the CC button in the bottom toolbar.
You can even change the language of the captions if you
prefer to follow along in a language other than English,
just be sure to turn on the translation button.
To locate the chat box, if you do have questions,
you can go to the bottom right toolbar
and you can open the chat box and feel free to type your questions in here
or let us know if you have any having any technical issues
and we'll address questions at the end.
In this webinar, I will start by covering the basics of the Davison
Fellowship program and the key benefits of joining our cohort of fellows.
I'll provide an overview of how the application process works
and provide some additional resources for you to check out on our website.
We will open the floor to your questions and try to answer as many of them
as we can in the order that they come in before the end of the hour.
So let's get started.
Since this is a NOAA
Fellowship program, it offers a more comprehensive career
development approach than simply providing funding for your research.
Although the $45,000 annually in direct support is a nice benefit too.
Being part of the two year cohort of Davison Fellows offers
the opportunity to participate in career readiness training to develop
your professional skills and set you up for success
after you complete your degree program.
To build a network of peers and coastal professionals
to develop relationships
with trained mentors who provide onsite support at each reserve
and to work on projects that address a key coastal management
question to help scientists and communities
understand challenges that may influence future policy and management strategies.
Since the Cooperative
Agreement is between NOAA and your university, the annual funding
allocation is sent to your university to then distribute to you.
Budgets can include up to $45,000 in direct
costs each year over the two year period
to cover an annual stipend, tuition, travel and supplies, for example.
NOAA has additional funds to cover university indirect costs
so that those requirements will not impact the money going to the student.
In addition to your research projects, fellows
will be taking part over the two years in virtual and in-person trainings,
workshops and conferences around the country.
NOAA will work with the fellows after they're selected
to make sure the focus is on topical areas that are relevant to each fellow.
Some examples from the first cohort include training in collaborative science
and science communication, as well as project management and planning.
Noah is also working closely
with all reserve staff to establish and train a strong cohort of mentors
to provide guidance and enhance each fellow's learning during the program.
The Fellowship offers a platform for networking
with peers and professionals in the reserve system at NOAA
and in the community on the local, state, regional,
and federal scales.
And the fellowship offers onsite mentor support,
and these mentors can provide a variety of
types of support, including guidance on your project, career advice,
connecting you with local networks and supporting you
when you need it.
Each Fellows
project will involve a collaborative research
to address a key coastal management question
to help scientists and communities in and around a reserve site.
The full list of research questions that are priorities for each reserve
is available on our Web site, but here are a few examples.
Some coastal challenges include habitat restoration,
invasive species, studying the ecological
or economic stressors in a community, examining coastal erosion,
or incorporating human dimensions into the work that the reserves do.
There are so many more.
Please go to the list of
research questions that are priorities for each reserve linked on our website.
It's important to note that there are a variety of ways
that you can design your project to answer these research questions.
With a number of these relying on both natural and social science
approaches to address relevant coastal management issues.
Those are the major benefits to individual fellows.
The program was designed with two major factors in mind.
First, to provide a career advancement opportunity
to students, but also to support the reserve mission.
In the next few slides we’ll give you a sense
of how this fellowship fits into the broader context of supporting
coastal management and science efforts across the country,
with the main goals being to develop the next generation of coastal leaders,
build capacity at reserves
to promote high caliber collaborative research, to address
coastal challenges, and to strengthen partnerships with universities.
The model of our leadership development efforts
is none other than Margaret Adelia Davidson.
Margaret was one of the greatest proponents
of the National Estuarine Research Reserve System from its inception
and was a former NOAA leader.
And this fellowship honors her legacy.
Margaret saw the future with clarity and knew how to push for innovation
and was well known for really shaking things up.
She defined excellence in many categories, and this approach is what NOA
and the research reserves are striving to achieve with the Margaret A.
Davidson Graduate Fellowship program.
If you're not familiar with the research reserves,
at least a national program of the research reserves,
it's a system of 30 reserves
around the nation focused on estuary and community health.
The green dots on the map show the location of each reserve
with some liberties taken regarding geographic scale for Alaska, Puerto
Rico and Hawaii.
And at these
coastal sites, fieldwork, research and community engagement come together
to create the scientific advances that change our communities
and our coasts.
The reserve system is national in scope, so there is great potential
for transfer of fellowship project outcomes to other areas of the country.
And each reserve site incorporates best practices in research,
stewardship, training and education into their programs
to fulfill their mission,
which offers fellows the opportunity to gain real world
experience with applied science
and put their research to work for those who need it most.
In addition to their research projects, Davisson fellows are expected
to fully integrate with their host reserve to understand the ecology, mission
and capabilities of their Reserve and the reserve system.
This will include participating in or supporting
other programs at the Reserve as interest and capacity allows, and traveling
to the annual Reserve System meeting in the first year of the Fellowship.
Some examples
of how past fellows integrated with their reserve include developing
lesson plans
for K-through-12 education programs based on the results of their research.
Participating in workshops hosted by their Reserve’s Coastal Training Program.
And helping other researchers or student interns at the Reserves
with their sample collection and monitoring efforts.
In order to achieve the program goal of promoting high
caliber collaborative research to address coastal challenges, all fellowship
projects should take the approach of user driven, collaborative research
that addresses coastal management issues critical to each reserve.
This involves communicating and collaborating
with stakeholders from beginning to the end of the project
to make more seamless the transfer and applicability of the project results.
The website link on this slide is managed by the Reserves
Science Collaborative Program and offers resources to help
prospective applicants plan and implement collaborative research projects.
So that's the overview.
A little bit about benefits of being a Fellow.
Understanding where the fellowship program fits into the broader context
of the coastal management and estuarian science space.
And so the question is,
does this sound like a good fit for you?
You might be saying yes, absolutely.
Or maybe you're still on the fence, you're still probably.
The next part of this presentation will give you a little more information on
what do you need to do to apply.
First
and foremost on our website is a link to the notice of funding opportunity.
This has all of the information that you need.
A little bit of an intimidating
document at first, but
we'll go over a summary
of some of the main information that you should look at first.
This document includes more information about eligibility, the due date
of submission process.
Another link to the reserve management needs
and the review criteria for applications.
It's important to note all applicants must work with their university
sponsored programs office to submit an application through Grants.gov.
And so we recommend connecting with your university
grants representative well in advance of the deadline.
The notice of funding opportunity is linked on our website
and again it has all the information you need.
But here are the key points
to be eligible
students must be admitted to or enrolled
full time in a master's or doctoral program at a U.S.
accredited college or university, and students must be U.S.
citizens or permanent residents of U.S.
states or territories.
We encourage applicants to
be able
to be enrolled for at least all of the first year and the majority
of the second year of the funding to take full advantage of the fellowship program.
Please keep that in mind in terms of your general timing.
And new to this year, we are accepting
your conditional acceptance to a graduate program
and are requesting a letter of acceptance
into that program from your university
as part of the application materials.
And so to clarify,
provisional acceptance to a graduate degree program can
conditional upon obtaining
financial support such as something like this fellowship.
So we hope this broadens our eligibility pool.
Applications are due December 4th of this year
and your university is required to submit
the materials in Grants.gov on your behalf.
And so we really encourage you to work with your university sponsored program
office. Early
pending appropriations students will be notified
in roughly April to May of 2024 of the decisions
and would start their two year fellowship August 1st,
2024.
Applications will be evaluated based on their technical merit,
as well as how well the research proposal aligns with the reserves
management priorities.
And so it benefits you to contact the Reserve
within the management priority document where it lists the management needs,
is also a point of contact at the Reserve that you can go and talk to.
Reserves can't provide direct feedback on your proposal,
but they can discuss the relevance of your project idea to their management needs
and identify any resources that they might have to support your project.
So we really encourage you to reach out to the reserves to talk about your idea.
What should you do next?
That's some of the main
important elements to understand when our application is due.
Where do you go to find more information about what is required?
And so what are your first steps
to set yourself up for success?
We really encourage you to contact the reserve to discuss your project idea.
Reach out with questions as early as you have them.
We have a lot of resources on our website, but if you can't find the answer to your
question, please reach out.
Reserve staff are tremendous on the ground resource
to answer any questions you have about your projects.
It's important to set a timeline and identify clear
expectations and responsibilities with your university advisor
and your university grants representative.
Connect with your university offices, Sponsored Programs Office early,
even if it's just to say I'm interested in applying, Here's a deadline.
And if you haven't already,
go to our website and register for our next webinar, which will offer
tips on applying and will be hosted on September 28th
this year.
And that's what we thought you would want to know.
Overview of the program Identifying some benefits to being a fellow,
but we'd love to hear what else you want to know that we haven't covered.
We do have some additional resources on our website.
You can go to find the link to the funding opportunity
and the reserve management needs.
We have a frequently asked
questions document that we built on each year of the program.
The recording for this webinar will be posted on our website afterwards.
And if you're curious about what
some of our past fellows have done
or are curious about their experience, we have some newsletters
that we link to the website.
We have a recording of a webinar where some of our fellows talked
about the collaborative
component of their projects and we have some highlights about what
some of the things that our past fellows have accomplished as well.
You can also sign up for updates,
email updates about the program and you can email
ocm.davidsonfellowship@noaa.gov, in order to do so.
And so
with that, I will open the floor
to any questions that we have received.
So I see our first one here.
So for students who would be entering
their first year of a 5 to 6 year Ph.D.
program, they would only be able to get their first two years funded.
If so, is there other funding that Noah helps with afterwards, or is it
then on the student and their school advisor to find different funding?
So it is important to note this is a two year program.
This gives funding for two years and so there
you would have to seek other funding.
There are other opportunities within NOAA. If you
go into Google and type in
NOAA student opportunities, there's a whole database of
student funding opportunities in the form of fellowships,
internships, scholarships, things like that.
But yes, this is a two year program.
Do the contact
people at the reserve have the ability to help select projects.
That is, while they cannot provide feedback to our proposal,
are they involved in the selection? So yes.
So there's the technical merit review
and then it goes to a reserve panel review.
And so the Reserve staff are typically involved in reviewing projects
and they are best equipped to assess how well a project aligns
with the reserve management need.
The reason why, a big reason why we say a
reserve staff cannot provide direct feedback, is
because then that could potentially result in a conflict of interest.
And so maintaining that boundary.
Another question that's come in,
how large is the fellowship cohort for each application cycle?
Are slots distributed evenly across reserves or is this not considered?
Each reserve
is eligible to receive a fellow,
and so there can be up to 30 in a single cohort.
And so each reserve is eligible
to receive a fellow.
How competitive is the fellowship is another question.
Would I know how many others have contacted my reserve?
You wouldn't know.
It's not communicated how many have expressed interest
or contacted a reserve to give a sense
of how competitive the fellowship is
and receive multiple applications and
each reserve takes on one fellow.
In previous cycles we've seen about 100 total applications come in,
and so we can place up to 30.
Will the application be targeted to a specific site?
Yes, when you submit an application, you have to specify the reserve
that you would be conducting research at and hosted by.
You do have to specify the reserve.
And if you want to submit an application to multiple reserves,
then you have to submit multiple applications
to each one to each of
those reserves that you're interested in.
Another question
that's come in, since the university submits the grant
through Grants.gov, does this mean each university
can only submit one application, meaning if multiple students
from the same university are interested in applying,
can the university submit an applications for all of them?
The university can submit applications for all of these students
interested in applying.
The university is not restricted
to one application.
Another question here Do you have suggestions
for finding university faculty to support your research project?
Do reserves have information on universities and professors
which historically collaborate?
It would be good to connect with.
I absolutely recommend
reaching out to the reserve point of contact and asking
if they have any existing connections that they could connect you to.
Our reserves are locally based.
That's a major benefit of the Reserve program, is that they are located
within the communities that they're serving
and they would be absolutely in a position to connect you
to find university faculty that can help support your research project that they've
collaborated with.
These are all very thoughtful questions.
I'm glad that we have time to answer them.
We have another question here.
Can this fellowship be combined with open non project funding?
We do not restrict your ability
to obtain funding in addition to the fellowship.
So yes, you can combine this
funding through this fellowship with other opportunities as well.
We just ask you to be mindful of the commitment
required of this fellowship in engaging with the reserves
and the professional development opportunities
and any additional requirements that might be associated
with other funding opportunities.
Another question here is there selection criteria?
Yes. In the notice of funding opportunity, it very specifically details
the criteria that you will be
scored on in your proposal to take a look there
and email us if
you have any follow up questions on that one.
Okay.
I have very thoughtful questions coming in.
Another one since the Fellowship starts
August 2024, when is funding available?
That is, if I want to do research during the summer of 2024,
would I be able to include that in my budget?
Funding is made available August one, 2024.
There are some scenarios associated with federal grant funding
where you can request the ability to
what we call pre award costs.
That's something that you would discuss with your program officer if selected.
And those initial conversations when setting up the award,
we can't guarantee that the funding would be available to do the research
during that summer, but there is an avenue for that.
So that would be something to bring up during
the initial conversation with your program officer If selected.
Another question,
How do we access the application requirements,
the prompts for statements, requirements for the budget detail,
the notice of funding opportunity has all of that.
So if you go if you click the link on our website,
it'll bring you to Grants.gov.
On that website, there are a couple of tabs under the funding opportunity,
I believe the tab says related documents and there's a pdf.
Click the PDF download, that's the notice of funding opportunity
that has all of those details
on our website as well.
We have a sample budget form
that you can use to
help inform putting together your budget.
Another question.
If I have a research project with field sites at multiple reserves in a region,
should I only apply to work with one reserve or include each
reserve I'm working with?
Follow up, if I should only apply to one reserve,
are there guidelines on which one I should be applying to?
You would only apply to one reserve.
You can reference the other reserve sites in your application,
but you would be hosted by one reserve
and that's kind of up to you
of where you feel the best fit is for where you want to be hosted.
You could do it based off of where you're closest to at university.
You could do it based off of the...
Actually I think
in some of the cases for the management needs,
there is a specific reserve
that if it does span multiple sites
within the region, there's one that's listed as the preferred host.
I think, but I'd have to double check on that one.
But my recommendation is to talk to the Reserve staff
to understand which specific reserve you want to apply to,
because you would just do one.
In addition to working
with our university advisor to develop the research proposal,
should we be involving the reserve contact in the research proposal?
So this comes back to the question.
This goes back to the point around absolutely reach
out to the Reserve to discuss the project idea,
to understand how well it fits
and meets the reserve management priority.
But if you're directly involving the reserve staff
in the development of the research proposal,
then they can't serve as a review panelist.
And so that's going to be up there
too, up to their discretion of how involved they can or cannot get.
But it's not a requirement.
It's not a requirement
to have them be part of the development process.
You mentioned encouraging students
to be enrolled the first year in the majority of the second year.
If my project ends before the end of the second year
or even after only one year, would I still be eligible to apply?
Or do you recommend extending my project?
There's another part to
this question, so I'm going to answer the first part.
It is that you're still eligible to apply.
We encourage that because there are benefits
to fully participating in the cohort aspects of the fellowship,
to take advantage of the professional development.
And so that's why we advise that you be enrolled for the first year
and the majority of the second year to receive the full
funding and benefit.
So then the follow up to this question is will applicants
able to participate for the full two years be given preference over students
who can participate for all of the first and most of the second?
It is not a formal criteria in the review.
It might be considered during the panel
review portion, but for the technical review
it is not considered as part of the review criteria
and so applicants who couldn't participate for the full two years
wouldn't be given preference.
But that can factor into the reserve
panel consideration.
Another question is there preference
given to certain fields over others?
I'm assuming like marine bio versus
chemistry versus social science.
And so I know it
comes down to
how well does the approach that's being proposed
address the reserve management priority
that helps ensure that one,
we have a couple more questions here or a number of more questions is great.
Very thoughtful questions and if I haven't fully answered
your question, feel free to add that back into the chat and
clarify a piece of your question
that I did not answer thoroughly.
Another question in terms of respectfully engaging with the university staff
that actually fill out the Grants.gov, is there a broad overview
of the application materials checklist so students and staff
can know the deliverables for the December 4th deadline?
Is Grants.gov straightforward or are there threshold steps in the process?
Is it just copy and paste of specific questions?
There are within Grants.gov platform,
there are specific forms that are needed.
And so
university will have to, for example, fill out the S.F.424 form.
That's
if they upload that document
and that and it satisfies the
checklist that's within Grants.gov,
I don't think that, you know,
I don't remember if we have a specific
one page document checklist.
I think we might I think we have it listed in the FAQ,
frequently asked questions document that we have.
If we don't, then we can absolutely add that in,
because I do think that that would be a beneficial resource
to offer that checklist.
I feel like it's in that frequently asked questions document,
but I'm not certain.
For a given reserve, have you noticed if preferences generally given
to students at a university closer in geographic location to the Reserve?
We are two rounds into this.
There has been no data to suggest that that preference exists.
Some reserves
may prefer to have a student closer because they can engage
in reserve activities,
but it's not a requirement.
So we have had some students who are at a university
in Florida and work with the reserve in Alaska, for example,
and we haven't seen data to support
that there's a clear preference given to students
closer in geographic location.
I am accepted into my program pending some money.
Can I apply knowing that this money would begin my program faster
as my other grants are not coming through yet?
So yes, this. You would need a letter
from your university saying you're conditionally accepted.
This satisfies the conditional requirement of that money
coming in
and support that.
And I just saw a clarification.
Thank you, Jean.
Regards to the preference questions,
all applications are rated according to a process and criteria
that are fully spelled out in the funding opportunity.
So you can see exactly
what reviewers are considering and tailor your application to make your best case.
Thank you for clarifying that, Jean.
Jean is our competition expert,
so definitely defer to her on those.
There are a couple questions that are kind of similar,
and so these questions are about more detail
being onsite at the reserve.
One of the questions I know in the online guide that mentioned that fellows
were required to spend six weeks on site that can at six weeks be broken up.
Yes, work with your reserve to identify the best approach for you
if selected.
What are the expectations that in regards to commitment,
What if my university is outside driving distance from the reserve?
Is one supposed to move there for two years?
You're not expected to move to the reserve.
We have had a fellow do that to move to the state.
They were at a university in Michigan.
They were working at the reserve in Maine.
They decided to move.
The rest of the vast majority of fellows don't do that.
They travel to the reserve when they have the capacity
and need to engage with their reserves in a way that's meaningful to them.
There is the year
highly encourage you to
get the most out of the program that you can
and really incorporate yourself and feel part of the Reserve family,
but absolutely offer flexibility in what way
that works best for you.
Would it affect your eligibility
if you are in an online master's degree program?
No, Jean,
correct me on that one in the chat if I'm wrong on that, but there's no
eligibility requirement online versus in person
degree programs.
Couple more questions here.
How often are the student
research projects independent of the reserve research?
That is, are these projects usually tightly tied to researchers
as at the Reserve or just conceptually tied synergistic to reserve concepts.
Example Blue carbon.
It's a mix.
So we've had some fellows develop a specific project
directly correlated to
the reserve and researchers that are at the Reserve.
We've had other fellows who already had a project underway or
project designed that fit in with the management need,
and they added in some elements of sites
in the reserves and things like that to boost their project.
So it's taking a variety of forms.
Another question here
Does a low budget make a proposal more competitive
or is that not included in the selection process?
I might need more information on this, but if my assumption is you,
your research may be receiving support from somewhere else.
Since you're not needing to request as much in supply costs, it
the level of the budget, I'd have to, I would say
go to the notice of funding opportunity and review the selection criteria
around the budget section to get clear guidance on that one.
I don't want to misspeak
in terms of how
low versus high versus medium the level of the budget would be scored.
I'd say go to the nearest funding opportunity, check the budget
requirements and follow up with us
at ocm.davidsonfellowship@noaa.gov.
If you have any follow up questions on that one.
The last question
that I see in our kind of document compilation here do reserves
provide field station housing?
Most reserves, I believe, do
have housing on site, not all of them.
I think there's a handful that don't.
So I would that's a great question for the reserve
point of contact for the Reserve that you're interested in.
To see if that reserve that you're interested in has onsite
housing options.
Another question came in.
Would you consider art based science research or is this strictly
hard science or social science research programing?
If It meets the needs of the management need?
I say absolutely, Go ahead and submit it.
There have been some conversations around a desire
for more education research for the reserves.
The reserves
have multiple sectors.
They have the research arm, their stewardship arm.
They also have very robust education and training programs.
And so I would encourage it.
A couple more questions here.
How would funding work if someone has other funding
for the first year of the fellowship or directly federal, for example,
if someone is on the GRFP for that first year, is that acceptable?
And if so, could the funding go all to supplies,
research?
You would work with your university
to figure out the distribution of the funding. But
yes, you are able to
have other federal funding
in addition to the Davidson Fellowship to meet your needs,
and you would then decide
which of those funding
pots are applicable to supplies, research costs, travel.
Keep in mind that
the funding needs to be going
to supporting your project that you described in your proposal, So
make sure that you're managing
that appropriately.
Another question Do we need to report in our proposal
if we plan to produce a paper or publication from our data?
Could the data we collect be used in other research
analysis?
I would encourage you to specify
if your proposal would produce
a paper or publication.
It tends to strengthen
your proposal.
And yes, the data collected can be used
in another research analysis.
As part of the proposal,
we require you to submit a data management plan,
and that's an area that you could detail
that piece of information.
Is a proposal allowed
to slightly change across the two years during the fellowship.
To clarify, if you propose a project after acceptance
and actually performing the research,
if things were to slightly adjust or perhaps feasibility changes,
could you adjust your project from your exact proposal?
I would be surprised if you did not at least a little bit at some point.
The discussion that you would have with your program officer, at NOAA, at
that point is are the changes rising
to the level of a change in scope of the project?
You can work with your program officer on what that means,
but there is absolutely flexibility for things to slightly change.
An example is some of our fellows found that the sites that they had proposed
to collect some data at were just not feasible.
They could not access them.
And so they had to remove a couple of their sites from their proposal.
And that was a reasonable change to make in that project.
Who should the audience be of the grant?
Should we be writing for
the laymen or field experts?
The reviewers are people who will be assessing
the technical merit of your project.
I would say
come back to
our webinar in September,
or if you can't make that one, then look for the recording
because that's an area where we can dig more into this question
of talking about the audience for the grant.
The audience for your proposal are the reviewers.
They will be looking at the same selection criteria that you are.
And so keep that in mind.
We'll be able to get into that
in more detail in our follow up webinar in September.
So I encourage you to register for that if you aren't already.
Another question here,
how much should the student advisor interact with the Reserve objectives?
Is this supposed to be a student driven
proposal to be synergistic with the Reserve or a faculty reserve
driven proposal?
This is going to be one of those questions where the answer is it
likely varies.
It might be a conversation
between the advisor and the student of
giving the student a little more autonomy and doing it.
Or as an advisor, you can get more involved in helping the students shape
their research.
It kind of depends on the relationship and the needs or goals.
Learning goals of the student.
There isn't an expectation
one way or the other.
I'll say that.
I don't know if that answers that question.
That's the end of my list.
These are all very thoughtful question.
We really appreciate you taking the time to
dig into this and learn more about the program
and set yourself up for success.
Not seeing any other questions yet.
Any questions that my answer was not quite
what you were looking for and you're looking for some follow up.
I'm seeing another one in here for conferences.
Are there set dates?
I'm assuming they're included in the proposal.
So the conferences, the
reserve annual meeting,
which we require fellows to attend in their first year,
usually October, November.
Those dates are not set yet though,
and I don't think
will be for until early next year.
But we do provide
recommendations on how to budget that
within our frequently asked questions document.
So check that out.
Any other questions?
The FAQ document is on our website.
If you scroll towards the bottom of the website,
it's in a additional resources section.
Awesome.
Okay.
