2. Frank L. H. WolfsDepartment of Physics and Astronomy, University of Rochester Looking back in time! First meeting: June 13, 2003 Focus of first meeting: Solicit feedback from attendees as to their research and how it might fit into the SLC concept. Brainstorming of ideas and next steps. Reality check against full Center proposal v.s. Catalyst approach as initial focus. Last meeting: July 30, 2003 Focus of last meeting: Management issues of the catalyst project. Reviewed the projects that might be support by the proposed project. Reviewed missing information of the catalyst proposal. Timeline until submission.

3. Frank L. H. WolfsDepartment of Physics and Astronomy, University of Rochester It is amazing what we achieved! During this period of 7 weeks: Decided to focus on a catalyst effort. Refined the focus of our project. Received offers of free implants. Brought together a diverse group of investigators to join the effort. Wrote and submitted an excellent proposal to the NSF.
