Dear all,
I got a notification from PAMS that our progress report has been
approved. It came with the comments listed below. In particular, note
the emphasis on the student projects that become more important in year
2 of our program. We should start noting the details related to them on
the student pages (Pete has kindly agreed to follow up on the webpage
updates needed for this.)

*Comments Provided by the Program Manager: *Thank you for the detailed
progress report on the first year of TAC-HEP. Helping the first seven
students identify projects and lab staff to guide their research
projects is welcome progress in the semester that funding has been
available. In future progress reports please provide additional details
of the student projects topics, mentors, and any successful developments
(posters, papers, technical breakthrough etc.) These details are
extremely helpful in evaluating the progress that has been made.
Additionally, the PI efforts to establish the curriculum and the role
the various TAC-HEP PIs have played organizing the Computational HEP
Traineeships are greatly appreciated and their leadership is encouraged.
As the PIs successfully recruited the expected number of incoming
students the previous budget period's carryover will not be spent in
this budget period and the support for this budget period will be
reduced, as previously discussed.

Many thanks and best regards,
Tulika
