27. Partnership LMD – http://www.reeis.usda.gov/lmdhttp://www.reeis.usda.gov/lmd

29. The LMD 3.0  Two types exist for two different audiences: o NPL - National Program Leaders at NIFA (internal facing) o Partner – NIFA partners (external facing)  The data in LMD currently draws from 3 sources: o Current Research Information System (CRIS) o AREERA State Plan of Work (POW) Information System o Cooperative Research, Education, and Extension Management System (C-REEMS)

30.  June 2010 – Go live with a scalable open source platform that eliminates costly vendor lock-ins – while enabling more effective data sharing.  Scalable open source platform will enable users to generate customized reports faster and provide an interface that is easier to understand  We have plans to continue to add requirements and enhancements to the Dashboard approximately every 6-9 months. Where is LMD Going?

31.  Director’s Reports in the future  Through the LMD interface – Universities will be able to filter their expenditure data – the way they want to see the data (instead of providing them many pdf’s – of expenditure data – with different filters)  Programs of Work for McIntire-Stennis and Animal Health can be generated from the REEport data and certified. Where is LMD Going?
