STATUS OF THE CORE BUDGET AS OF JUNE 2004

The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research report for the 2003/04 fiscal year shows a positive balance of $48,494, with 94% of expected country contributions collected. The Institute achieved approximately $100,000 in savings against its approved budget, primarily through reduced salary and benefit costs. The report also details the winding down of the Collaborative Research Network and Small Grants Program I, and the launch of Small Grants Program II.

• For the fiscal year 2003/04, the Institute collected 94% of expected incomes, with payments received from 9 member countries. This included advance payments from Brazil, Costa Rica, and Mexico. The total income for the period from July 1, 2003, to June 2004, was $887,247, while total outcomes were $838,753, resulting in a positive balance of $48,494.
• The Institute expected to end the 2003/04 fiscal year with savings of approximately $100,000, as actual and estimated expenses ($838,753) were lower than the approved budget ($939,170). The largest portion of these savings (82%) came from the Salaries and Benefits category due to a lack of salary adjustments and lower-than-expected charges in two local positions.
• The Collaborative Research Network (CRN) program is in its final year, with the National Science Foundation grant expiring on May 31, 2005. Project CRN-038, led by Dr. Pilar Cornejo, was canceled, and $486,200 in remaining funds, along with unused funds from the Grantee, are to be returned to the program's general fund.
• The Institute manages two Small Grants Programs: Program I is concluding, with 12 of 16 approved projects having submitted final reports and received final payment. Program II began in March 2004 with 22 approved projects; as of June 2004, 20 projects had met legal requirements and received initial payments, with an expected completion date in the second quarter of 2005.
