    Hi All - <br>
    <br>
    So, I just got off the phone with the Fastlane Helpdesk person who
    SWEARS that reviewers have already been assigned to my proposal
    (which I really don't think is the case).  I know Rose Dufour feels
    that reviewers have been removed from the co-op proposals that
    Bethany references below.  I feel like this needs to be escalated to
    a specific person at NSF to figure it out and stop giving us the
    brush-off.  Dave/Sue/Helen - Do we know anyone who could take this
    issue in hand?  Brian Midson?<br>
    <br>
    Thanks,<br>
    Sheila<br>

              the R/V Atlantis. Subsequently we updated both agreements.
