I have taken a look at the CAN Decision Support proposal we wrote for SERVO,
and it is clear that this is fundamentally the same type of proposal that we wish
to write for iSERVO.  I have extracted the relevant section for earthquakes and
deformation, slightly modified it, and attach it here.  I suggest that this CAN proposal be used as the
starting point for the iSERVO proposal, but we need to modify it to transport the
technology to the international arena, and we need to modify the proposed work,
etc. so as not to duplicate what is in the SERVO proposal.  I  also provide a link to
the CAN proposal as a pdf document (you can turn it into a word document simply
by saving it as a .doc file).

It is clear that the IT part will be different, since it must account for different functions
with the different countries.
 
This also raises the question of whether it might make sense to try to link
the two proposals in some way, without the work seeming to be duplicative.
Would this be an advantage?  Or a disadvantage? (Recall the requirement that
iSERVO be a new partnership...but perhaps it would be good to emphasize
that the international part is new, but the domestic part has basically been
ongoing for some time, and continues through the submission of new proposals
such as the CAN.  In addition, it might be more convincing to the NSF people
if they saw that the very extensive body of work that we are proposing may
be supported in part by other agencies)
 
    Cheers, John
