Donations received so far have totaled about $37,000, however, some money has already been paid out for the preparation of the proposal. > Is there a deadline? The project proposal is currently under review by the Research Institute. Its approval is made more complex by its joint nature including a contract that INC has proposed to the Research Institute. Still, I expect approval by the end of May, at the latest. All equipment will then need to be purchased ASAP so the project can actually begin operations, hopefully by the end of June. -- Paul -- Voice/Fax: 909-481-9620 Page: 800-805-2870 The Institute for Neural Cryobiology - http://neurocryo.org Perfected cryopreservation of Central Nervous System tissue for neuroscience research and medical repair of brain diseases Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=9394
