<p class="MsoNormal">Effort certifications for the period of July to December have been created. I will be reviewing over the next week or so and approving, which will send them to all PIs for approval. Please keep in mind that I am still rather new to SPLS
so I will not know most employees that work in your labs so I will need all of you to review these certifications before approving. If you notice any issues, please email me directly to update.
