We look forward to hearing further from you on the request for general operating support; meanwhile, we continue to work on the proposal for project funding and will await word from you on a conference call in the coming weeks to discuss. I am also completing and will send shortly an itemization of expenses incurred to date on polio eradication, as requested for the initial funding.

Further to our meeting in Seattle and subsequent correspondence, please find attached our letter of request for general operating support from the Gates Foundation. I believe your latest recommendation was for general operating support of from $1.0 to $2.5 million over three years (Oct 2013—Sep 2016), and project support of from $2.5 to $4.0 million (depending on the previous) over one year (Jan-Dec 2014). We respectfully request the Foundation's consideration of a two-year, rather than three-year, term for the general operating support — i.e., from Oct 2013 thru Sep 2015. We are confident of IPI's capacity to fully utilize the general operating funds — as well as the anticipated project funding — over these requested periods, and we believe the two-year term better aligns with the one-year term of project support. You and Paul also requested a listing of IPI's expenses incurred to date on polio eradication. We are finalizing our accounting of these and will provide an itemized report in the next day or two, if acceptable. Please let us know of anything further you may require at this stage. Otherwise, we look forward to a conference call in the coming weeks on the proposal for project funding that we're now hard at work on. Many thanks for your kind support throughout this process.
