  • The SAC recommended that all PESCA proposals receiving a peer-review score of "Good" (3) or higher be funded, provided financial resources are available. If funds are limited, the SAC prioritizes the funding of proposals rated as "Very Good" (4) and "Very Good to Excellent" (4.5).
  • The SAC advised the Directorate to coordinate with the Principal Investigators (PIs) and Co-PIs of proposals #5 and #15 to resolve potential equipment overlap in their budgets and to establish an appropriate implementation sequence.
  • The SAC recommended that the Directorate adjust requested PI salaries for certain proposals to align with the PESCA program's announcement of opportunity guidelines.
  • While the SAC expressed satisfaction with the quality and distribution of the current PESCA competition proposals, it noted that some countries failed to submit proposals and urged the Directorate to increase publicity in those regions.
  • The document lists 17 specific projects recommended for funding, with scores ranging from 3 to 4.5. Top-rated projects (4.5) include studies on vegetation diversity in Cuba, Caribbean rainfall in Jamaica, and dendrochronological events in Peru.
