Budget
The primary source for PASSCAL core funding has been
through a series of five-year cooperative agreements between
IRIS and the National Science Foundation. Figure 43 shows
the overall IRIS core (without EarthScope) funding. Each
of the three major programs—PASSCAL, DMS, and GSN—
operate with a base budget of about $3.2M. This funding
has remained level over the last several years. A significant
enhancement of over $9M to the PASSCAL budget has come
from special Congressional appropriations coordinated
through the Department of Energy between 2001 and 2005.
This money was targeted for the replacement of the original
data acquisition systems. EarthScope and USArray funding
come through a separate 7.0 cooperative agreement, and
includes separate budgets for Major Research Equipment
and Operations and Maintenance.

The PIC award FY97 to NMT FY98 provides FY99 salary support for 13 fulltime
employees. Included within the overhead structure
of this award is the provision and maintenance of office,
laboratory, and warehouse facilities. Other basic services,
such as administrative support and Internet bandwidth, are
supported through this award. The yearly costs associated
operating the core instrument center stabilized markedly
after the consolidation of instrument centers from Lamont
and Stanford to NMT in 1998 (Figure 45). For fiscal year
2007, the NMT PIC award was $1.637M.
The UTEP award provides support for approximately
1.2 full-time employees. UTEP has title to 440 singlechannel
TEXAN instruments purchased by the state of
Texas. This subaward ensures PASSCAL user community
access to these instruments and thus more than doubling the
number of PASSCAL TEXAN instruments. For fiscal year
2007, the UTEP award was $199K.
