This file is not user friendly. I would recommend that you print it out, then call me or George to walk you through it. Also, please note that the budget is presented in duplicate - one in US dollars and one in Chinese "dollars." Spreadsheets without $ signs are in Chinese currency, and you can basically ignore them.

I thought that I heard general support for that position. It is probably okay to send an invoice, but I would not expect payment of funds until the contract is executed by all parties. Therefore, I think the contract team should expedite their work. You may send the Shell invoice to me. I have already arranged with the sponsoring management to get a check.

At API's request, Dr. Irons presented us with an estimate of approximately $3M for research expenses through the end of 2001. This total includes: 1. University of Colorado personnel and expenses ($780K; includes Shanghai travel and lodging) 2. University of Fudan personnel and expenses ($56K) 3. SMCDCP (Shanghai CDC equivalent) personnel and expenses ($13K) 4. SIPHS (Shanghai OSHA equivalent) personnel and expenses ($60K) 5. EMBSI (exposure assessment & epi. support) personnel and expenses ($150K) 6. Laboratory (clinical and research) equipment, supplies and start-up costs ($ 1. 8M) In order to keep Dr. Irons solvent with the University of Colorado, keep good faith with the Chinese collaborators, and get the laboratory set-up started so case sample work may begin early next year, we need to have the grant in place by September 1, 2001. SHELL-MCCLURG-051690 This $3M estimate is very close to the 15% invoicing for year 2001 agreed upon during budget discussions last May/June. As you may recall, in order to accommodate a mid-year start it was decided to invoice half of Year 1 costs immediately, and the other half early in 2002. Year 1 invoices are 30% of the total research costs, so half of 30% is 15%, and 15% of $19.7M is $2.955M. Consequently, in consultation with the Oversight Committee Chair and based on your company commitment letters, we would like to invoice the initial 15% to all companies within the next week. By return email, could you please send me your company contact information for invoicing. Thank you, Lorraine Twerdok Benzene Consortium Administrator PS - Attached is a one page summary budget estimate; 50+ pages of detailed budget excel spreadsheets are available upon request - in hard copy, only. ***************************************** Lorraine E.
