Hi @Adri,
It was suggested by the community members in earlier conversation that we break it into Milestones and Quarterly Injections to have a better chance of being approved so we were taking that advice and applying it where possible. There would be dependency on the grant in order to retain someone for a full year as hiring someone for 3 months is not as easy as some would think. Therefore we are adjusting the proposal to simply include the milestone to attain one full time salary employee.
I have updated the proposal below to eliminate any partial funding and state the 1st milestone requirement for the salary based employee.
Thank you,
update to proposal to eliminate any partial funding and underscore the 1st milestone requirement of a full time salary based employee.
Funding Allocation
PiPhi requests $77,500 (387500 ALGO) in outside funding to support operations and development for the next 12 months. This amount will sustain the salaries of one full-time hire.
This milestone will be achieved at the time we hire our first salaried employee.
Employee 1 ($77,500/Yr): Responsible for PiPhi development, coding, testing, error identification and error patching.
