bshanks@111: == Budget Justification ==
bshanks@111: 
bshanks@111: Because the anticipated product is mainly intellectual property (approaches for extracting information from
bshanks@111: large data sets of a particular sort), this work depends most heavily on personnel, as reflected in the budget.
bshanks@111: 
bshanks@111: \vspace{0.3cm} \noindent **A. Senior/Key Person**
bshanks@111: 
bshanks@111: \noindent 1. Charles F. Stevens, M.D., Ph.D., Principal Investigator (effort \= 4.80 calendar months), will direct the
bshanks@111: project, engage in improving the computational approaches from the ones currently being used, contribute
bshanks@111: to developing the mathematical basis for the algorithms, participate in the interpretation of data, and write
bshanks@111: drafts of journal articles. Stevens is known for combining theory with experiment, is trained in physics and
bshanks@111: mathematics as well as in biology, and has been using computation approaches to data analysis for many
bshanks@111: years in many different contexts.
bshanks@111: \\\\
bshanks@111: In the subsequent year a 3% increment has been calculated.

bshanks@111: 
bshanks@111:     \indent Postdoctoral Associates.
bshanks@111: 
bshanks@111:     To be named, Ph.D., Research Associate (effort \= 12 calendar months), trained in computational
bshanks@111: techniques and machine learning to work collaboratively on the problem of deriving cortical arealization from
bshanks@111: gene expression patterns.
bshanks@111: 
bshanks@111:     Graduate Students.
bshanks@111: 
bshanks@111:     Baylis Shanks, M.S. (effort \= 12 calendar months), is currently working on the project for his thesis.
bshanks@111: Shanks is currently in the Computational Neuroscience program at the University of California, San Diego,
bshanks@111: and has been primarily responsible for applying the suite of standard approaches to the problem of
bshanks@111: identifying genetic tags that identify cortical areas. He is well trained in computational methods for the
bshanks@111: analysis of large data sets, and is at home with neurobiology.

bshanks@111: \vspace{0.3cm} \noindent **D. Travel**
bshanks@111: 
bshanks@111: \noindent 1. Domestic. Funds are requested to cover the cost of attending three scientific meetings to present work
bshanks@111: related to this project at \$1,500 each (airfare, ground transportation, registration, lodging, meals).
bshanks@111: 
bshanks@111: \vspace{0.3cm} \noindent **F. Other Direct Costs**
bshanks@111: 
bshanks@111: \noindent 1. Material and Supplies. Computer related consumables, software licenses \$11,000; computer
bshanks@111: equipment, including mass storage \$6,000.
bshanks@111: \\2. Publication costs. Graphics, page charges, and reprints.
bshanks@111: \\4. ADP/Computer Services. Institutional computer services and network access charges.
bshanks@111: \\8. Central Services. Institutional services for which investigators are charged on a fee-for-use basis
bshanks@111: include lab support shop, small equipment repair and maintenance, photocopying, and postage.
bshanks@111: \\9. Graduate Student Fees. The University of California, San Diego resident fees for 2009-2010 are
bshanks@111: currently estimated at \$10,945, and a portion (\$5,468) is budgeted so that in year 1 the combined
bshanks@111: salary/benefits/fees amount does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by NIH (\$37,368).
