Tracking Applications

• Authorizations to use TransPAC are granted for
  meritorious research and education applications
  and collaborations.
• The objective of TransPAC is to provide a basis
  for the development of next generation
  applications supporting international
  collaborations and enabling interaction with
  global information and experimental resources.

28
Tracking Applications

• The effectiveness measure of TransPAC is the
  degree of success in enabling these applications.
• Enabling, tracking and reporting of the
  applications is of primary importance.
• Dear Colleague letter used annually to contact
  the researchers for application status.
