<div>As discussed at the recent MEDIN DAC working group meeting, £30K (including VAT) is available in the MEDIN budget to support development projects at 1-3 DACs. The funds are specifically to be used to increase the number of datasets that are available as
“direct access” from a MEDIN metadata record. This will improve our aim to have data available within “two clicks” from a MEDIN metadata record.</div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div>This is an invitation to all MEDIN DACs to submit proposals for this money by Friday 17<font size="1"><span style="font-size:6.65pt;"><sup>th</sup></span></font> June 2016.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Projects will be prioritised based on the success criteria detailed in the attachment. </div>
<div>Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.</div>
<div>Best wishes,<br>
Clare</div>
