in the third year, with units taking on all the salary costs in successive years. In some situations, hires may be underwritten at a lower rate to maximize available funding. No funding is provided for start-up costs, so agreements on start-up costs need to
be secured when developing proposals. Applications for funding are reviewed twice a year, November 1 and April 1.
