The projects five objectives

• Develop a shared understanding of the drivers of
  change in Andean Ecosystems.
• Measure the role of market and climate risks
  (objective and perceived) on livelihood
  strategies, and the role of assets on risk
  perceptions and strategies. Response to
  perceptions of the relative risks associated with
  these changes.
• Explicitly link local and new knowledge to
  produce practices and information that provide
  alternatives to adapt to change.
• Evaluate and identify market integration
  opportunities and institutions that contribute to
  resilience.
• Develop methods that integrate these knowledge
  systems, build capacities and capabilities to
  adapt to change pathways that enables research
  impact.

EEP questions - what we have to address

• This is what we will be evaluated on
• INTEGRATION we need to make sure we are talking
  to each other research should relate to other
  sites understand and use results from other
  sites
• SCIENTIFIC RIGOR - a plan for journal
  article publications
• Research feeding into common set of
  HYPOTHESES
• IF our COLLABORATORS in communities visit
  each others sites, what would they have to share
  with each other
• A CONCEPTUAL MODEL
• OUR PRODUCTS (practices, strategies,
  knowledge, information, institutions) in terms of
  contributing to ADAPTATION how do we ensure
  these respond to adaptation (INSTITUTIONS,
  INTERVENTIONS, INFORMATION)
• BUDGETS to achieve objectives we will have
  to reorganize budgets. With a ten percent budget
  cut scenario implications
• Identify outputs and products, develop a
  plan to achieve them.
• A BASELINE SITE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE ASSESSMENT

16
Budget Cycle Expenses and Invoices

• Last day September 30th
• Final Invoice to the ME by December 15th
• Final Invoice to Missouri by October 30th
• Consider there are lags between expenses and
  these showing in accounts
• Spend as soon as possible and invoice
• Let your fiscal and grants office the deadlines
