Status Report as of October 31, 2003

The Status Report as of October 31, 2003, provides a financial and administrative overview of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI). It details the core and program budgets, operational fund balances, and the status of various research grants and internal administrative reforms.

• As of October 31, 2003, the IAI operational funds balance was $278,000, a decrease from $570,000 on June 30, 2003. This fund is used to manage cash deficits caused by the timing difference between member country contributions and expenditures.
• The IAI is implementing new administrative controls to address a lack of documentation for research funds managed directly by the Directorate rather than through grant contracts. A new internal document structure (limited to two pages) has been created to record the background, objectives, activities, and budget for these activities.
• The Collaborative Research Network (CRN) transferred $616,330 to projects during the first four months of the fiscal year. Specific project issues include the recommended cancellation of project CRN-038 due to the resignation of the PI and 16 co-PIs, and the death of PI Dr. Eduardo Franco for project CRN-031.
• The IAI has updated its project numbering system to a standardized code (YY PPPP F M - NNNN) to resolve issues where project numbers were not consecutive and internal scientific activities lacked a numbering method.
• Several program budgets are in transition: ISP III activities closed on March 31, 2003, but received a no-cost extension to September 30, 2004, for training; PESCA funds were fully spent as of October 31, 2003; and Small Grant Program I released 75% of project budgets, with final payments pending reports.
