T. A. Walton Dr. Herb Ginn Dr. Enrico Santi GRAPES SPRING MEETING May 2016
PROJECT OVERLAYS SUPPORTING GRAPES STRATEGIC CHOICES
Answer the IAB question, How do all these projects fit into the big picture? Provide a template with which to organize our thinking and communication as we select and evaluate projects. Provide a document that can be passed on and used as a starting point for our Researchers, working with IAB members, to determine the projects we choose in the future. Provide an instrument for planning with the end point in mind.
