To: Tholstrup, Susan C SCC-HSE <susan.tholstrup@shell.com> From: Cagen, Stuart Z SCC-HSE </O=SHE LUOU=MSXSCC/CN=RE CI PI ENTS/CN=SC724012> Cc: Bcc: Received Date: 2004-03-12 04:08:31 GMT Subject: RE: Sciences Susan: As per your request, please find attached a significantly more detailed description of the US R&D toxicology budget for 2004. This information will be useful for the Sciences discussion at the end of the month. I noticed in the CF- HSE Business Plan 2004-2006 that this budget and its individual component approval by the PBUs is the responsibility of the Product Stewards, with Elizabeth as the one with key responsibility. As mentioned, in the past I have compiled these values from Sciences US (Ralph and myself) and the Product Stewards and submitted them to WTC in the May-August time frame. These are a bit cumbersome, with much jargon, so - as always - let me know if you have questions.

Regarding specifics on budgets, I have drafted a somewhat SH ELL-MCCLU RG-064416 cumbersome description of what is going on in 2004. Ralph and I are looking for a more friendly viewing format.

Couple of quick ones - do we have a similar program (budget) set-up with CT in Amsterdam? Also, do you have these numbers broken down by project. For example, you said $200K for BO research and advocacy. Could we get that as (for example): > > $ 150K fund 2 researchers in WTC studying BO effect on mice and fish > $ 50K pays for external testing on BO effect on turtles with BO Labs, Inc. > $ 1OOK our dues to BO ChemStar Panel> > $ 14K travel costs for Stu and Bubba to attend ChemStar panels. > > If we could get this kind of breakdown for 2004, it would be good. Then 2005 and 2006 would just be comments around what drives changes. > > Hope this makes sense! > > thanks, > Susan > > -----Original Message----- > From: Cagen, Stuart Z SCC-HSE > Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2004 10:25 PM > To: Tholstrup, Susan C SCC-HSE > Subject: Sciences > > Susan: > > As a continuation of our discussion on Friday and the continuing 'Sciences' review, I have listed below the US toxicology research budget for each PBU. Every May-Aug, budget values are submitted to the PBUs via the WTC R&D budget review process. These costs are for a range of projects that are PBU specific.
