There are two things, I think, happening here at the same time. One is the work that RCGT was doing, and the dates I've noted. The second is that in the way SDTC normally operates—and this is my layperson's description—they have a regular funding cycle where they do reviews of projects and make funding awards. When I spoke to the organization, I advised them that it would be unwise to continue business as usual.
