According to FASLANE, they are having difficulties with the external portal and are not sure when it may be up and running. I would like to suggest that anyone who has a proposal due, you may want to contact a program person to see what options you have. I have been given a ticket number – 1-65019841 and if in the next hour the system doesn’t come up I’m to call again to get an update on the status of the portal. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Olga<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Olga S.
