3.6.7 Budget Justification

Back to Phase II Grant Documents

In the second and third budget period, Phase II of the grant, Tree Star estimates the need for additional engineer/programmers and the addition of significant work from our Quality Assurance and Information Technology Specialists (QA and IT).
The QA role becomes critical as we iterate between building and debugging. Our validation process requires repeated testing and results tracking.
IT is important to efficiently and securely enter, save, and track our research results and to integrate our new software with the idiosyncratic hardware and software installations in our clients’ laboratories.
