Question 4

Have you been involved in synthesis efforts previously? Were they similar in nature to the type of projects that were funded or that you proposed to the last announcement?

Yes and yes but on much smaller scales (see our website http://ram.uaa.alaska.edu).

I believe that I was also taught to "synthesize" as a child by playing a game where words were hidden in songs. The game was that the words would pop up randomly in the song and constituted a description of an entirely different thing or process (or set of processes). You were supposed to pick them out (but not write them down) and then tell the singer what it was. Anyhow, was hard but fun!

Matthew Sturm
Yes, and in a number of cases, Yes. However there seemed to be more data products funded than would be consistent with my past synthesis experience, which tended to focus on system processes and function.
