Yes, that it correct. Donations received so far have totaled about
$37,000, however, some money has already been paid out for the
preparation of the proposal.

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.
